Título: Phone Rings
Autor: Stephen Dixon
Sinopse: A shocking phone call in the first sentence sparks a soaring tour-de-force saga by the writer Publishers Weekly deemed a hip Saul Bellow. It is the tale of two brothers, years apart in age, who have become close late in life. But the freakish death of one at the book's outset sends the other reeling into a shattered yet strangely exhilarating revisitation of their lives together. Phone Rings is the work of a master at the peak of his form: a beautiful overlapping of scenes both remembered and ongoing, told with tenderness and an antic, laugh-out-loud sense of humor. In Dixon's inimitable mix of absorbing narrative, deceptively simple prose, and waggishly innovative style, it becomes the sprawling chronicle of a large Jewish family in midcentury New York City, surviving three wars, the 1960s cultural revolution, marriages, divorces, births, and deaths. . . . Is it all lost with the piercing sound of a ringing phone? Or is that the chance to realize the possibility of transcendence? Stephen Dixon has long been considered the secret master of American fiction by great writers such as Jonathan Lethem. In this book, he may well have written his masterpiece. Acabamento: Paperback. Peso: 313g. Dimensões: 23 x 16 x 1.
