Interrogative Mood
Beschreibung:
Padgett Powell wurde 1952 in Gaines - ville, Florida, geboren, wo er auch heute noch lebt. Bekannt wurde er durch Veröffentlichungen in THE NEW YORKER, ESQUIRE und HARPER'S MAGAZINE. Powell erhielt etliche Auszeichnungen: den Prix de Rome der American Academy of Arts and Letters, den Whiting Writers' Award und eine Nominierung für den National Book Award.
If Duchamp or maybe Magritte wrote a novel (and maybe they did. Did they?) it might look something like this remarkable little book of Padgett Powells.Richard FordThe Interrogative Mood is a wildly inventive, jazzy meditation on life and language by the novelist that Ian Frazier hails as one of the best writers in America, and one of the funniest, too. A novel composed entirely of questions, it is perhaps the most audacious literary high-wire act since Nicholson Bakers The Mezzanine or David Foster Wallaces stories; a playful and profound book that, as Jonathan Safran Foer says, will sear the unlucky volumes shelved on either side of it. How it doesnt, itself, combust in flames is a mystery to me.
