Джастин Торрес – лучшие книги

Когда американец Джастин Торрес, начал писать ""Мы, животные"" (We the Animals), он еще не знал, что сочиняет свой первый роман, который произведет сенсацию в книжном мире США. Высоко оценил его знаменитый Майкл Каннингем: ""Эта книга ни на что не похожа из всего, что я когда-нибудь читал. Мы все должны быть благодарны Джастину Торресу, этому яркому, дикому голосу"". История взрослеющих на наших глазах трех братьев, рассказанная младшим из них, во многом автобиографическая.

Испанский спортивный журналист Диего Торрес в книге, которую буквально растащили на цитаты известные СМИ, делится с читателем инсайдами о Жозе Моуриньо из кабинетов футбольных менеджеров и раздевалок топ-клубов. Автор не стесняется придать портрету знаменитого португальца темных красок и освещает неприглядные факты биографии, которые вовсе не умаляют его достижений, а лишь говорят о том, что даже великим людям свойственны слабости.

From the bestselling author of We the Animals, Blackouts mines lost histories--personal and collective.

Out in the desert in a place called the Palace, a young man tends to a dying soul, someone he once knew briefly, but who has haunted the edges of his life. Juan Gay--playful raconteur, child lost and found and lost, guardian of the institutionalized--has a project to pass along to this new narrator. It is inspired by a true artifact of a book, Sex Variants: A Study in Homosexual Patterns, which contains stories collected in the early twentieth century from queer subjects by a queer researcher, Jan Gay, whose groundbreaking work was then co-opted by a committee, her name buried. As Juan waits for his end, he and the narrator trade stories--moments of joy and oblivion--and resurrect lost loves, lives, mothers, fathers, minor heroes. The past is with us, beside us, ahead of us; what are we to create from its gaps and erasures?

Inspired by Kiss of the Spider Woman, Pedro P�ramo, Voodoo Macbeth, the book at its own center and the woman who created it, oral histories, and many more texts, images, and influences, Justin Torres's Blackouts is a work of fiction that sees through the inventions of history and narrative. An extraordinary work of creative imagination, it insists that we look long and steady at the world we have inherited and the world we have made--a world full of ghostly shadows and flashing moments of truth.
