Descriere

Trying To Be So Quiet & Other Stories presents three stories about love, loss and the horror that comes when grief removes our reason for living from the world.

In 'The Second Wish', a son coping with the sudden death of his parents returns to his childhood home only to find that, despite everything being familiar, things inside seem increasingly unreal.

In 'Damage' a grieving lover loses all sensation of pain as she tries to make sense of her enduring grief.

The title story is a novella telling of a husband's struggle with the reality of his wife's death as he remembers their life together. Although haunted, he struggles to find the ghosts that assail him as meaningful as the bleak fact that he is now alone. But that doesn't stop him seeing them...

"A hint of Robert Aickman in the slow accretion of off-kilter detail and shades of Christopher Priest [and] the metafictional conceits of Jorge Luis Borges." - The Guardian

Hello again, Mr. Manson! Nota 6

de Andreea Manaila | 27/09/2019 02:05

Everything is F’ed, de Mark Manson, este continuarea bestsellerului The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F. Aceasta conţine teme legate de filozofie, umanitate, dezvoltare economică, statusuri sociale şi financiare, teme care uneori sunt analizate în moduri poate mult prea subiective şi directe decâr ar fi necesar. Nu este una dintre cărţile mele preferate, chiar dacă am fost curioasă să văd ce s-ar mai putea spune pe lângă temele dezbătute în prima carte. Sunt teme dezbătute de parcă autorul ar avea ochelari de cai, priveşte într-o singură direcţie, chiar dacă unele idei sunt destul de complex descrise şi amănunţite. Nu aş recomanda-o, dar merge ca lectură pentru a-ţi satisface curiozitatea.

I only say this because as a person who has read a lot of his articles as well as his previous book, „The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck„, there are a lot of concepts in this book that can be perceived as radical, and possibly downright offensive. The keyword is perceived. When you come into this book hoping and/or believing that this book will affirm all of your biases, all of your hopes and dreams, all of what you stand for, then you wouldn't have a great time. This book talks about philosophy, human existence, psychology, democracy, religion, politics, money, etc. and it takes quite a controversial but rational standpoint on these fields. Yes, sometimes while reading this book it'll be difficult to get through some of the philosophical concepts. Yes, sometimes you will get offended by what Mark says. And yes, you would want to put the book down. But, if you go into this with an open mind, prepared to feel both validated and hurt, both offended and reassured, then I think this would be a great reading experience for you. I highly recommend this book!
