Feast Days: We were Americans abroad. We weren`t the doomed travellers in a Paul Bowles novel, and we weren`t the idealists or the malarial, religion-damaged burnouts in something by Greene but we were people far from home nevertheless. My husband was in the chrysalis stage of becoming a rich man, and idealism was never my vice. The term among expats for people like me was `trailing spouse`. A brilliant and funny novel set in Brazil. Englisch, Taschenbuch.

In the vein of Dept. of Speculation and Outline, a lean and piercing novel set against the backdrop of the 2013 protests in Brazil that tells the story of an expatriate-a "trailing spouse" on the verge of thirty-who, from the margins of Brazilian society and of her own life, chronicles both a marriage and a country on the brink of crisis. FEAST DAYS is a snapshot of the life of an expatriate named Emma, who has moved to São Paulo just as massive riots against the country's growing economic inequality are breaking out across the country. Emma moved to Brazil for her husband's career in finance, with no job prospects of her own, a weak grasp of the language, and a deep ambivalence about having a child. Emma's early days in São Paulo are dominated by inertia; she spends her time parsing the Latin roots of words, reading, watching television, eating at expensive restaurants, half-heartedly tutoring wealthy Brazilians in English. But everything changes when Emma begins volunteering at a local church to assist Haitian and Syrian refugees and finds herself amidst the riots, unable to resist the tug of the country's rising political and social unrest. As the country seems to move toward a point of possible collapse, so does Emma's marriage, as she and her husband realize that their beliefs about each other and their place in the world are growing increasingly distant. With profound wisdom and humor, Mackenzie has written a sharply observed depiction of the urban upper classes, marriage, and how easily our belief systems can collapse around us.

Ian Mackenzie, Books, Fiction and Literature, Fiction, Feast Days, A New York Times Editors' PickDevastating, funny and wise, it's among the best novels I know about the fate of American innocence abroad.--Garth GreenwellOne of the most memorable narrative voices in recent fiction.--Publishers Weekly, Starred ReviewIntelligent and deeply felt, Feast Days follows a young wife who relocates with her financier husband to São Paulo--a South American megacity that impresses and unsettles, conceals and erupts. Here in her new home, she reckons with the twenty-first century as she encounters crime, protests, refugees gentrification, and the collision of art and commerce, while confronting the crisis slowly building inside her own marriage. In stylish prose and with piercing wit, Ian MacKenzie tells the story of Emma, a young woman who has moved from New York to Brazil just as massive demonstrations against the government are breaking out across the country amid growing economic inequality. Emma has come to Brazil for her husband's career, with no job prospects of her own, a weak grasp of the language, and a deep ambivalence about having a child. Her early days in Sao Paulo are listless but privileged; she dines at high-end restaurants, tutors wealthy Brazilians in English, and observes the city she now calls home.But when Emma volunteers at a local church to assist refugees and grows more deeply connected to the people she meets in the course of her days, she finds herself unable to resist the tug of Sao Paulo's political and social unrest.As the country moves seemingly closer to a breaking point, so does Emma's marriage, as she and her husband can no longer ignore the silent, tectonic shifts beneath the surface of their relationship. Feast Days is a sharply observed story of expatriate life, as well as a meditation on the hidden costs of modern living and how easily our belief systems can collapse around us.
