Recenzii

Shortlisted for the Goldsmiths Prize  One of Booklist's "Best Books of 2017"   “With captivating writing, a vivid rural landscape and frequent references to famous works of art, Baume creates a layered experience that leaves the reader nurtured and restored. For artists and lovers of art, this will be an extra-special treat.”BookPage   “Baume leaves nothing unturned in this dark and sometimes funny excavation of the human heart, life’s fragility and the quest for sanity in a sometimes insane world.”—Kerri Arsenault, Minneapolis Star-Tribune   “This moving novel about mental health is a remarkable read for anyone who has ever felt lost.”Real Simple, “The Best New Books to Read this Month”   "When I finished Sara Baume's new novel I immediately felt sad that I could not send it in the post to the late John Berger.  He, too, would have loved it and found great joy in its honesty, its agility, its beauty, its invention.  Baume is a writer of outstanding grace and style.  She writes beyond the time we live in."—Colum McCann   “After a remarkable and deservedly award-winning debut, here is a novel of uniqueness, wonder, recognition, poignancy, truth-speaking, quiet power, strange beauty and luminous bedazzlement. Once again, I’ve been Baumed."—Joseph O’Connor   “Unflinching, at times uncomfortable, and always utterly compelling, A Line Made By Walking is among the best accounts of grief, loneliness and depression that I have ever read.  Every word of it rings true, the truth of hard-won knowledge wrested from the abyss.  Shot through with a wild, yearning melancholy, it is nevertheless mordantly witty.  It felt, to me, kindred to Olivia Laing’s The Lonely City: not just on a superficial level, a young woman seeking solace in art, but in the urgent depth of its quest to understand and articulate what it means to make art, and what art might mean for the individual, lost and lonely; how it might bring us out of, or back to, ourselves.”—Lucy Caldwell   “Fascinating, because of the cumulative power of the precise, pleasingly rhythmic sentences, and the unpredictable intelligence of the narrator’s mind. . . [In A Line Made By Walking] there is a reminder of the beauty that can be found when you allow yourself to look slowly and sadly at the world.”—The Guardian   “Baume writes lovely prose about unimaginable pain. A clear-eyed, beautiful rendering of a woman struggling against despair.”Kirkus Reviews   "Fans of Colum McCann and Richard Russo will adore this masterful and meditative novel that doesn’t emphasize plot over atmosphere."Booklist, starred review    “A spellbinding meditation on art and life.”The Bookseller   “Original and affecting.... Baume has taken a subject typically treated with scorn, the quarter-life crisis, and produced a portrait both particular...and instantly recognizable.”—The Observer   “Gorgeous writing . . . Comparable to the work of literary writers such as Anne Enright.”Library Journal    —
