Title: Well - Matthew McIntosh - book
Summary :
"Maybe not always, but often. Oh, it can happen to me
anywhere. In front of my mailbox, or in the morning in my
car when I leave for work: all of a sudden I get the thing - it's a
impression rather than an image, a kind of sensation, like
when you walk in the dark, avoiding bumping into furniture,
There you go - the feeling of being at the bottom of a well."
Imagine the Northwest United States ten years after the
Kurt Cobain's suicide...
Federal Way, a working-class suburb of Seattle.
Coming from nowhere, bartender, boxer, computer scientist, fisherman,
mother, imaginary rock star, bandit - lives in
prey to the darkest impulses struggle desperately
against the distress that afflicts them. Well, there are so many variations
subtle on the major themes of everyday life: the
unemployment, dependency, separation. Humanity will never
had been embodied in a novel with "as much noise and
fury. The torments and defeats of middle America
are examined as signs and symptoms of disillusionment
but also the hopes of a disillusioned society.
“More than characters in a novel, the author describes beings
with all their hopes, their dreams, their fears, their hatreds,
their passions, their illusions and their power of reason which
are part of the dilemma of the human species. This book is a
reading pleasure, a wonderful human experience... It
still resonates within me."
