Luster - Raven Leilani - książka
Producent: Picador
"A profoundly remarkable novel," remarks Diana Evans from the Guardian. Zadie Smith lauds it as "A concise, witty portrayal of modern youth—harsh yet ingenious." Raven Leilani's debut, "Luster," has won the Dylan Thomas Prize and has been a contender for the British Book Awards Fiction Debut of the Year as well as the Women's Prize for Fiction. At the heart of the story is Edie, a young woman merely trying to navigate life's turbulence. Her existence is ensnared in a monotonous office job where she feels out of place among her colleagues, and her romantic encounters seem far from ideal. Her passion, painting, is yet another area she's struggled to succeed in. In her search for meaning, she encounters Eric, an archivist whose personal life is complex, featuring a family setup that includes an ostensibly open marriage and a black adoptive daughter needing guidance in aspects as personal as hair care. Amidst this backdrop, Edie finds herself intertwined with Eric’s environment, compelling her to confront modern dilemmas concerning race and relationships. Raven Leilani's "Luster" offers a vivid, nuanced exploration of these themes with sharp wit and unexpected empathy. Celebrated as a must-read by numerous publications, it has also earned a spot as one of Barack Obama's favorite books of 2020.
