Bliv medlem af LibraryThing for at finde ud af, om du vil kunne lide denne bog. Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. A novel with very short chapters, each focused on a good-bye of sorts. I think the concept is quite interesting but it's also limiting, there's not room for anything more sustained (friendships, relationships,etc.). The book could have also done with some editing, and less awkward descriptions of new people the protagonist meets. ( ) Bembo’s description of Alexander’s writing is right on the money. He is deliberate with his words, lucid and frank in his descriptions. He requires us to distill meaning from the smallest details and allows the essence of each encounter to burst from like a flower, each one different, imperfect in its own way. We are presented with the spirit of the encounters and asked to make our own conclusions. It is the postmodern love story: a man confronted by the world seeks love in so many places, touching the lives of others, but not quite finding the connection he is seeking. Will he ultimately find what he is looking for? Will any of us? That’s what sequels are for . . . ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Mark is looking for love in all the wrong places. He always ignores the warning signs, preferring to dream, time and again, that he has met the perfect lover until finally, one day... Through fifty vivid snapshots of life as a young gay man in Brighton, Mark takes us on a very funny tour of the modern dating minefield: from s&m nightclubs to chintzy b&bs, from disastrous blind dates to promising internet hookups... It's all here. Wry, touching, witty and honest, 50 Reasons to Say Goodbye is a poignant exploration of that long winding road: the universal search for love. No library descriptions found. |
