Aus dem Klappentext: Ein zutiefst beunruhigender Roman von düsterer Faszination, in dem Gewalt, Sex und Verderben keine verselbstständigte Rolle spielen, sondern als integrale Elemente menschlichen Seins dargestellt werden. - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Rupert Thomson, FRSL (born November 5 1955) is an English writer. He is the author of thirteen critically acclaimed novels and an award-winning memoir. He has lived in many cities around the world, including Athens, Berlin, New York, Sydney, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, and Rome. In 2010, after several years in Barcelona, he moved back to London. He has contributed to the Financial Times, the Guardian, the London Review of Books, Granta, and the Independent. ... Seeing the World (1982 – 2000): In November 1982, Thomson took a job as winter caretaker of a converted Tuscan farmhouse that belonged to Miriam Margolyes. In the Italian countryside that winter, he wrote the first draft of a book that would become Dreams of Leaving: “There was no heating in the house, and I worked in the kitchen, huddled against a free-standing gas stove. I typed on sheets of yellow foolscap, using a maroon Olympia portable I had inherited from my last agency. I was disciplined about the hours I put in: I would start at three in the afternoon and finish at one in the morning. The routine felt natural, comfortable, even seductive.” The following year, he moved to West Berlin, where he rented an apartment on Sanderstrasse in Kreuzberg and continued to work on the novel he had started in Italy. He was on the point of taking up a job as a cleaner in the Olympiastadion when his father died. He returned to Eastbourne in February 1984. The seven months Thomson spent with his brothers in the house where he grew up would provide the inspiration for his award-winning 2010 memoir, This Party’s Got to Stop. At the end of the year he moved to New York, where he worked at the Strand Bookstore, running the outdoor bookstall in Bryant Park In the summer of 1985 Thomson moved to Japan, inspired by his grandfather who lived there for more than thirty years. He spent several months in Tokyo, redrafting his first novel. By 1986, he was back in London. Dreams of Leaving was picked up by Liz Calder and published by Bloomsbury in June 1987. It prompted the New Statesman to say: “When someone writes as well as Thomson does, it’s a wonder other people bother”, while Nicholas Lezard of the Guardian called it “one of the most haunting, resonant and clever parables about England you’ll ever read”. One of Thomson’s fan letters came from Budgie, the drummer of Souxsie and the Banshees. Three months after publication, Thomson flew to Sydney. While there, he received a phone-call from a film production company in Los Angeles, optioning Dreams of Leaving. He spent two summers in West Hollywood, writing an adaptation of his novel. The film was never made, but he was paid the sum of $50,000 for the screenplay, which financed his second novel, The Five Gates of Hell. This was followed by four more novels – Air and Fire (1993), The Insult (1996), Soft (1998) and The Book of Revelation (1999). ... Thomson has this to say about the creative process: “It’s a headlong plunge into the unknown each time, with no framework, no plan, no end in sight…I’m trying to pin down some kind of psychological truth. I’m after an undertow – the flow of something fresh and unexpected. There’s no need to be afraid, or even wary. No one will ever see my first attempt. I have a number of metaphors for how this process feels. I’m a sculptor with a piece of marble. I’m a driver on a motorway at night who turns his headlights off. I’m an actor, but without an audience. I chip away at something formless. I can’t seem to remember any of my lines. I take wrong turnings, scenic routes. I get lost. I crash. But somehow I make progress. The marble gradually resolves itself into a shape. My characters slowly come alive. When day dawns and the road appears, I’m never where I thought I would be. The journey is always unpredictable. There is always risk, exhilaration, mystery, and panic. There is also, hopefully, the discovery of something that feels both recognisable and new.” ... He has never won any prizes for his fiction, and is often referred to by literary critics as having been criminally overlooked. Versand D: 5,20 EUR Belletristik, Gewebe, Englische Literatur des 20.
