Inhaltsangabe
What is the Blue Hour? It's when Father Doesn't Know Best, it's the morning after "Queen for a Day." It's when meltdown threatens a 1950s nuclear family in Meander, Illinois. It's 1959, as America gets ready to say goodbye to Mamie Eisenhower and hello to Jackie Kennedy. In this stunning debut, Elizabeth Evans shines the soft light of dusk on a 1950s family's journey from unquestioning innocence into tragic loss. "Very much a Great American Novel . . . one of those rare novels one finishes with the sense of having needed to read it."--Washington Post Book World.

Blue Hour
Anbieter: World of Books (was SecondSale), Montgomery, IL, USA
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Blue Hour is an elusive book, because it is ever in pursuit of what the German poet Novalis called 'the lost] presence beyond appearance.' The longest poem, 'On Earth, ' is a transcription of mind passing from life into death, in the form of an abecedary, modeled on ancient gnostic hymns. Other poems in the book, especially 'Nocturne' and 'Blue Hour, ' are lyric recoveries of the act of remembering, though the objects of memory seem to us vivid and irretrievable, the rage to summon and cling at once fierce and distracted.The voice we hear in Blue Hour is a voice both very young and very old. It belongs to someone who has seen everything and who strives imperfectly, desperately, to be equal to what she has seen. The hunger to know is matched here by a desire to be new, totally without cynicism, open to the shocks of experience as if perpetually for the first time, though unillusioned, wise beyond any possible taint of a false or assumed innocence.-- Robert Boyers.
