Beautiful World, Where Are You

Giới thiệu Beautiful World, Where Are You

A September Indie Next Pick

“[Rooney’s] writing about sex is taut and direct. It’s a narrative style I associate with the films of Andrew Haigh and Joanna Hogg, two great visual poets of social anxiety and reticence. Rooney’s dialogue is frequently perfect . . . Beautiful World, Where Are You is Rooney’s best novel yet."
―Brandon Taylor, The New York Times Book Review

“A tour de force. The dialogue never falters, and the prose burns up the page.”
―Anne Enright, The Guardian

“The book moved me to tears more than once . . . Rooney’s best novel.”
―James Marriott, The Times (UK)

“It’s a testament to Rooney's curious, cerebral gifts as a writer that she not only draws her readers into tolerating long stretches of such ruminations but makes them so entertaining. We feel we’re in good company with our own end-time anxieties . . . In this ambitious novel of sentiment and ideas, which is so up to the minute in its global concerns, Rooney ironically reaches back to one of the oldest forms of the novel, the epistolary or letter form, to tell her story.”
