| Paul Lynch’s The Black Snow is a dark, mesmerizing story, unexpectedly relevant today — about returning home and realizing that the land you longed for may no longer accept you. Set in post-war Ireland, it follows farmer Barnabas Kane, who, after yea ...more | |

| A dense yet hypnotic novel, more about how the world is perceived than about what happens in it. Lynch writes from inside the mind of a girl wandering through Ireland during the Great Famine — a mind still unseparated from the world, perceiving it wi ...more | |
"насчет Дикенза, как ее рекламируют, не знаю, эт вряд ли, скорее все ж таки написано с оглядкой на Эктора Мало и его "Без семьи". ну или эдакая "Верная закалка" в декорациях то ли Босха, то ли "Мертвеца", только без гитары Нила Янга. и, конечно, ирлад"

"еще один эпизод мрачной ирландской вселенной Пола Линча, той же, что в "Небе" и "Благодати" (и ирландской сельской вселенной Таны Френч навыворот). теперь мы имеем дело в 1945 уже году с потомками некоторых персонажей и артефактами, оставшимися от пр"

At 20, he is already married and the father of two children. He takes on odd jobs like moving. He doesn't have th" Read more of this review » |

| This is a collection where every story is about a boundary — between people, between cultures, between life and what lies beyond it. Bowles writes about collision without morality or passion. His characters constantly step outside their familiar worl ...more | |

| The story A Distant Episode, which gives its title to the collection, is one of the most brutal and piercing works by Bowles I read during my trip to Tangier. At first it looks like an ethnographic sketch: a linguistics professor arrives in a Morocca ...more | |

| A book you fall straight into. Mantel’s use of the pronoun he (he, Cromwell) at first feels like a stylistic glitch, but soon proves to be a device that keeps the protagonist constantly present — sometimes in the shadows, sometimes directly before yo ...more | |

| I read this novel while sitting in the teahouses of Tangier during my journey through Morocco. A strange feeling — to walk the very streets Bowles wrote about, to sit in cafés that have barely changed, to hear the same street noise. Voices, light, sm ...more | |
“Our homeland in the language we spoke, thought, and wrote in, not the place where we were born. We live in the space of our language, and to expand it, it's not enough to just leave; we need to start thinking in other languages.”
― Clochard

“We are all connected by the finest of threads. We create worlds for each other through our existence. When someone close to you dies, it immediately affects everything around you; and everyone’s lives, whether they feel it or not, are changed forever.”
― Clochard
― Clochard
“Long ago, we had both realized that the only constructive conversation possible between us was sex. Neither of us could hear normal words. We each spoke our minds and listened only to ourselves. Only during sex did we share sensations and truly be present together. How long could that last? Probably forever. Would we have been happy for eternity? Why not? Sex wasn’t about interests or cultural differences; it was self-sufficient.”
― Clochard
― Clochard
“Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really...How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.”
― The Sheltering Sky

“My message to you is this: pretend that you have free will. It's essential that you behave as if your decisions matter, even though you know they don't. The reality isn't important: what's important is your belief, and believing the lie is the only way to avoid a waking coma. Civilization now depends on self-deception. Perhaps it always has.”
