À propos de cet audio

 With two novels and one short story collection published to overwhelming critical acclaim ("Monkeys takes your breath away," said Anne Tyler; "heartbreaking, exhilarating," raved the New York Times Book Review), Susan Minot has emerged as one of the most gifted writers in America, praised for her ability to strike at powerful emotional truths in language that is sensual and commanding, mesmerizing in its vitality and intelligence. Now, with Evening, she gives us her most ambitious novel, a work of surpassing beauty. During a summer weekend on the coast of Maine, at the wedding of her best friend, Ann Grant fell in love. She was twenty-five. Forty years later--after three marriages and five children--Ann Lord finds herself in the dim claustrophobia of illness, careening between lucidity and delirium and only vaguely conscious of the friends and family parading by her bedside, when the memory of that weekend returns to her with the clarity and intensity of a fever-dream. Evening unfolds in the rushlight of that memory, as Ann relives those three vivid days on the New England coast, with motorboats buzzing and bands playing in the night, and the devastating tragedy that followed a spectacular wedding. Here, in the surge of hope and possibility that coursed through her at twenty-five--in a singular time of complete surrender--Ann discovers the highest point of her life. Superbly written and miraculously uplifting, Evening is a stirring exploration of time and memory, of love's transcendence and of its failure to transcend--a rich testament to the depths of grief and passion, and a stunning achievement.©1998 Susan Minot; (P)1998 Random House, Inc.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Her best work yet, assured, supple, exhilarating in its nerve and cool momentum.”—Joan Didion

“A stunning novel . . . a powerful story that cuts back and forth in time to give us both the defining moment in a woman’s life and an understanding of how that moment has reverberated through the remainder of her days . . . Her evocation of her heroine’s passion for Harris Arden is so convincing, her depiction of the world she inhabits is so fiercely observed. . . . The difference between [Monkeys and Evening] attests to Susan Minot’s growing ambition and assurance as an artist.”—Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

“An absorbing drama . . . Minot writes with quiet perceptiveness and grace, pulling the reader into Ann’s deathbed reverie.”—Elle

“A brilliant lyric performance.”—John Casey

“In spare and lovely language, Susan Minot has set forth a real life, in all its particularity and splendor and pain. This is the task of the novelist, and in Evening Minot has succeeded admirably.”—Roxana Robinson, The New York Times Book Review

“It astounds in its craftsmanship and imprints itself indelibly on the heart. . . . A haunting work of art that moves at the pace of a suspense thriller.”—Sheila Bosworth, New Orleans Times-Picayune

“Evening is a beautifully realized work . . . more mature and confident than anything she has written . . . An exquisite novel.”—Gail Caldwell, Boston Globe

“A wonderful, truthful, heartbreaking book . . . Evening vindicates the wildest assertions any of us have made about Susan Minot's talent.”—Tom McGuane

“Evening is a supremely sensual, sensitive, and dramatic novel. . . . So rich in color and motion, music and atmosphere.”—Donna Seaman, Booklist

“I was swept up in it. . . . It moved me and made me cry.”—D. T. Max, New York Observer

Les plus pertinents
Minot expertly weaves together the past and present of a woman nearing the end. Her writing is almost meditative. I found myself ebbing and flowing through the memories and present pain of lead character. This novel displays a unique perspective of a lifetime and how some moments and people leave deep impressions. The narrator, Kathryn Walker, has a voice that suits the story. The only criticism: the lead-in and lead-out music in this recording was unnecessary. The musical score at the end in particular had an unsettling undertone, which was unfitting with Minot's voice and intended ending. Death isn't always scary or spooky, sometimes it just is.
