So many ways to begin. Джон Макгрегор445 руб
Like Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Remains of the Day, So Many Ways to Begin is rich in the intimate details that shape a life, the subtle strain that defines human relationships, and the personal history that forms identity. In this potent examination of family and memory, Jon McGregor charts one man’s voyage of self-discovery. Encouraged by his doting Aunt Julia, he begins collecting the things that tell his story: a birth certificate, school report cards, annotated cinema and train tickets. David Carter, the novel’s protagonist, takes a keen interest in history as a boy. His professional and romantic lives take shape as his beloved aunt and mentor’s unravels. After finishing school, he finds the perfect job for his lifetime obsession—curator at a local history museum. Over the course of the next decades, as David and his wife Eleanor live out their lives—struggling through early marriage, professional disappointments, the birth of their daughter, Eleanor’s depression, and an affair that ends badly— David attempts to physically piece together his past, finding meaning and connection where he least expects it. Lost in a fog of senility, Julia lets slip that David had been adopted. 2007 |
