Böcker av Rebecca Goodman

Rebecca Goodman's Forgotten Night couldn't find a more laconic protagonist on a meandering quest, one that layers dream sequence with Medieval carnival and a necklace to offer protection with accidental artist-guides to the journey.

All the echoes of memory and the rapidly disintegrating past come into play in Rebecca Goodman's beautiful meditative novel-a chamber piece for embattled voices that unfolds inside the natural world. The narrator, taking on different guises, tries to make sense of what it means to be alive, "these things I can think and feel." Goodman writes at perfect pitch, looking back, looking forward, on the border between holding on and letting go. I couldn't stop reading.
