Chemistry and Other Stories
批評家のレビュー
"Goodness, Tim Pears writes beautifully...the descriptions of rural life, executed with painterly exactness, are a constant delight. The prose really sings." (Mail on Sunday)
"This is it. This is the real thing. This is whatever I mean by the work of a born writer.... Comic and wry and elegiac and shrewd and thoughtful all at once. Please read it." (A. S. Byatt)
"His prose is luminous, drawing in the reader.... Pears’ fiction has been likened to Thomas Hardy’s, and the comparison is apposite.... Powerful, vivid and humane." (Hannah Beckerman, Observer)
あらすじ・解説
Bloomsbury presents Chemistry and Other Stories by Tim Pears, read by Mike Grady.
A wife compulsively digs in her garden. Two brothers, long estranged, reunite for a terse, heady summer. A woman flies to Krakow to see her adult son. At dusk, a teenage girl pushes her dying mother out into the sea. A small boy sits on his own in the cinema, entranced by the cowboys who light up the screen.
With these short stories, Tim Pears illuminates a series of blazing moments in quiet lives - the tragic, strange, funny and beautiful fragments that make and unmake us - and shines a light into the gulfs that lie between us and those who should know us best.
