The deeply moving, propulsive story of ten teenagers brought together by a high school production of The Diary of Anne Frank that will shape and influence the rest of their lives.
Evanston, Illinois, 1982. A group of students at a magnet high school meet to audition for the spring play. They are eager for the chance to escape their difficult everyday lives. Declan, an experienced senior, is confident he’ll get his first-choice role, but when the capricious, charismatic drama director casts Franklin, an unknown underclassman—and the two are seen alone at the director’s house—a series of events that will haunt the cast for years begins to unfold.
2016. The actors have moved on with their lives. Some are wildly successful, some never left their hometown, and some just want to be left alone. Everything changes, however, when one former cast member comes forward with an allegation dating back to the time of the play. The consequences of this public revelation will be far-reaching and complex, reverberating through all of their lives in unexpected ways.
Cyclorama is a deeply compelling story of ordinary people that brilliantly cuts to the core of what makes us who we are and how our pasts reverberate into our present and future. With remarkable tenderness and humanity, Langer reveals how the traumas of our youth continue to echo throughout our lives, in our politics, in our careers, and in ourselves.©2022 Adam Langer (P)2022 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
批評家のレビュー
Langer has that rare combination of fierce intelligence, wicked wit and the ability to make you turn pages at wrist-splintering speed.
As the old saying goes, comedy equals tragedy plus time. Adam Langer's new novel, Cyclorama, significantly complicates that equation . . . Langer is as good a prop master as the one for Netflix's Stranger Things, judiciously peppering his pages with relics from the past . . . the literary equivalent of a Mary Lou Retton tumbling pass.
Cyclorama is an engaging novel, full of funny, sweet, arrogant, flawed humans behaving very badly indeed. Adam Langer has created a tender coming-of-age story with sharp teeth; I loved it.
I tore through Adam Langer's Cyclorama in a weekend. It's compelling, heartfelt, has immaculate pacing, and the characters feel real and important. Truly a rewarding reading experience.
Adam Langer is that rare combination of a writer. He has a sharp eye to details and explores human relations with keen insight and wry humor, and at the same time shows profound compassion to our fragile existences and longings.
Cyclorama is compellingly readable and is at its heart a story of empathy, resilience and redemption. I couldn't put it down!
[A] stunning novel that weaves together past and present . . . Langer has a wonderful talent for not only recontextualizing The Diary of Anne Frank in two different eras in American history, but for allowing the inverse of optimism and idealism to rise to the surface.
Langer brilliantly braids 1980s America with the Trump era in his inventive latest… Thrilling and unexpected… Readers will applaud Langer’s outstanding performance
[A propulsive novel, marked with [Langer’s] sharp cultural insights and uncanny talent for seasoning tragedy with wit that raises moral questions.
Finely wrought, raucously funny, and startlingly insightful.
[Langer] has created a rich set of characters who illustrate the ambiguity of high school and the haunting ways in which events from that time linger.
Funny... Deeply moving... Langer’s novel reveals how the past echoes through the present and continues to shape our futures.
A page-turning novel that is by turns funny, despairing and even affirming, a complex and powerful mix.
With families doting and dysfunctional, teens aspiring and despairing, and Anne Frank’s story mirroring current humanitarian crises, Langer’s cycloramic tale of dirty tricks, moral reasoning, and learning to love is smart, captivating, funny, appalling, and tender.
In its evocation of Chicago in the 1980s, and in its understanding of how the past forever hangs over us—culturally, politically, and personally—Cyclorama is both astute and winning. Adam Langer writes about a vast array of characters, every one of whom comes remarkably to life. This is a dazzlingly good book.
