4.9/5 (32498 ratings)

Description:Are you tired of novels full of ordinary dialogue, which is better done in theater and film? In this novel, the dialogue is narrated (see the short excerpt below). Are you tired of conventional novels with an overly complex structure? This unconventional novel has a simple structure, a series of encounters by the protagonist with a variety of people. Are you tired of novels where family secrets are unveiled slowly until the big ones come out at the end? That’s not what happens here, even though its protagonist is visiting her home town for the first time since a “falling out” with her much older brother twenty-seven years before.Sandra Ives, Thomas Ives is a middle-aged woman’s quest for something she can’t identify, and a quietly satirical look at a town’s political machine. It is told by a dryly humorous third-person narrator in the present tense with rhythmical prose. It’s a novel unlike anything you’ve read.Its author's past books include Performing Without a Stage: The Art of Literary Translation, and a translation, from the Czech, of Alexandr Kliment's novel Living Parallel. Excerpt of Narrated Dialogue: “Frances wonders out loud whether Melville is not what Sandra expected, and then starts talking about nostalgia, how it can make everything real look washed out, like a faded photograph. She cites Milan Kundera on how nostalgia is what’s left when one’s memories have run dry. Mousy rejects the idea. She insists that she has no nostalgia for Melville. Perhaps that is one of the reasons she has stayed away so long. Is there something wrong with her that she feels no nostalgia for her home town? It wouldn’t bother her if she couldn’t go home again, if a wall or curtain had sprung up around the city. But here she is, and things look to her the way they are.”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
