Life Among the Savages

Autor Shirley Jackson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 mai 2015 – vârsta de la 18 ani
In a hilariously charming domestic memoir, America s celebrated master of terror turns to a different kind of fright: raising children
In her celebrated fiction, Shirley Jackson explored the darkness lurking beneath the surface of small-town America. But in "Life Among the Savages," she takes on the lighter side of small-town life. In this witty and warm memoir of her family s life in rural Vermont, she delightfully exposes a domestic side in cheerful contrast to her quietly terrifying fiction. With a novelist s gift for character, an unfailing maternal instinct, and her signature humor, Jackson turns everyday family experiences into brilliant adventures."

Recenzii

Is it ironic or fitting that some of the greatest American writing about that venerated and difficult activity, motherhood, comes from a horror writer? ... There is something rather magical about how Jackson managed to so transform suffering into comic masterpieces
As warm as it is hilarious and believable ... Never has the state of domestic chaos been so perfectly illuminated
Warm and funny ... Read today, her pieces feel surprisingly modern - mainly because Jackson refuses to sentimentalize or idealize motherhood
Charming ... You'll see every parenting stance you've ever adopted, every parent-story trope you've ever told or heard, expressed more perfectly than you ever could have ... One of the great memoirists of family life
A housewife-mother's frustrations are transformed by a deft twist of the wrist into, not a grim account of disintegration and madness, still less the poisoning of her family, but light-hearted comedy
