Title : To Suspicious River - Laura Kasischke - book
Summary :
The Swan Motel, across the street, was clean and fresh—starched sheets, beige carpet, decent white towels that we sent twice a week to Ottawa City to be laundered in a truck full of olive-green plastic garbage bags. Behind the motel, the Suspicious River rolled its black waves... Hyperrealism, violence, and crudeness, transfigured in a poetic universe of exceptional force, Kasischke is reminiscent of the great Hopper and the best American filmmakers. But above all, she turns the reader into a fascinated voyeur, the true hero of this enterprise.
The depressed America of a Ray Carver poem? Another tale of contemporary alienation? Poet Laura Kasischke's debut novel is magnificent. It has the opaque, disturbing murkiness of water in which one doesn't know what one will find: salvation or doom. Manuel Carcassonne, Le Figaro littéraire.
