I have read two collections of Rick Bass' short stories and enjoyed them both. This is the first of his novels I have read. While the language itself was quite good, at times very beautiful and rich, the story was very much lacking. It really felt very much like three novellas loosely linked to one another. The first two novellas were very slow-moving and I wasn't interested in the characters or what was happening to them. The third novella was better, but not much. If I read more of Rick Bass, which I likely will, I think I will stick to his short stories in the future. They seem to come more naturally to him. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Roaming across the salt flats and skirting the salt lake Richard a geologist working for an oil company hunts for fossils under the spell of Clarissa the local beauty who plans to use her share of their plunder to get out of small dusty Midland for good. A generation earlier a Depression era couple Max and Marie Omo numbly mines for salt along the banks of the briny lake until the emotional terrain of their marriage is suddenly and irrevocably altered. The strange surreal arrival of a runaway circus elephant careening across the sand sets in motion Maries final break from Max and heralds the beginning of her second chance. Consequences reverberate through the years and the dunes when Marie becomes indelibly linked to Richards own second act. No library descriptions found. |
