David Leavitt
The story of a 1990s romance between two men rekindled decades later in Milan—from two-time PEN/Faulkner finalist David Leavitt, “a phenomenal and prescient writer” (Justin Torres).
Adam is translating into English his Italian friend Valeria’s new novel—a surprise bestseller she published under a pseudonym. Two days before he is scheduled to return home from Milan, he leans down to pet an especially sweet terrier and looks up to behold Francesco, the charismatic, rakish architect he hasn’t seen in three decades. When Francesco invites Adam to an Easter lunch with his family, including his wife and grandchildren, Adam finds himself drawn back into the affair that began in New York City at the height of the AIDS pandemic.
Alighting alternately on two historical moments, two cities, and two very different pandemics, Bright Monday explores with humor and compassion the ripple effects of a youthful entanglement born during one public health crisis and resurrected in the wake of another—a meditation on youth and memory shadowed by secrecy and denial yet illuminated by the persistent and bright possibility of rebirth.
批評家のレビュー
Bright Monday is a gorgeous--and sexy--evocation of lost love, youthful longing, and the way that time folds and expands many times during a life. David Leavitt is one of the most sensitive, perceptive, wryly funny writers out there. Bright Monday is utterly delicious.
David Leavitt is a masterful writer, and his dialogue, his innate sense of the rhythm of how people talk to each other, both in public and in private, is absolutely incredible.
Wickedly funny and emotionally expansive.
Very funny and unexpected, a material response to our times, plush as velvet.
Richly imagined [and] impressive.
Ambitious, meaty, extensively researched . . . [a] richly layered, rueful portrait. Leavitt has tapped into marvelous material. Stimulating and refreshingly original.
