Tim Pears
As good as any modern fiction you will read this year' Sunday Times, Best new short story collections
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.©2021 Tim Pears (P)2021 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
批評家のレビュー
The stories have a strong sense of the reality of rural life and its underbelly, the curious dynamics of families, and an
almost mystical feel for mortality. These are unforced and spacious pieces, totally sure-footed in their telling and as good as any modern fiction you will read this year
almost mystical feel for mortality. These are unforced and spacious pieces, totally sure-footed in their telling and as good as any modern fiction you will read this year
At the heart of his collection lies Chemistry, a compelling portrait of family and migration
He heads into the contemporary world and the moments that can darken or illuminate a life … These stories … are all given the same wise consideration, and described with an unerring, kindly exactitude
Lyrical and gentle, with a theme of familial interplay
PRAISE FOR TIM PEARS: Goodness, Tim Pears writes beautifully … the descriptions of rural life, executed with painterly exactness, are a constant delight. The prose really sings
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)
Tim Pears deserves a place among the best rural writers … An exemplary historical novelist with a Romantic eye for nature ... This heady walk through the forgotten lanes of England thrums with life
A gifted storyteller, steeped in country lore and the beauty of ordinary events. Like Thomas Hardy whose kindred spirit quietly animates these pages, he is concerned with the dignity of work, the force of destiny and the consequences of human passion
Reminiscent of Faulkner and García Márquez, the writing retains a very English scale … Sensitive, heart-warming and hallucinatory
The writing is so genuine. Nothing is posturing or romanticised. The characters really touched me. There's so much talent here (Barbara Trapido)
It is most beautifully written, hypnotic as Proust, very funny and full of love that doesn't cloy … It is a dreamy, easy, wonderful read (Jane Gardam)
Makes it quite possible to believe in magic (Sunday Times)
Highly atmospheric … It had an intoxicating, magical quality which completely beguiled me (Jeremy Paxman)
