Philip Roth od lat diagnozuje Ameryk?, wykazuj?c krucho?? jej rzekomo fundamentalnej tolerancyjno?ci i demokracji. W swojej wielkiej ameryka?skiej trylogii – „Ameryka?ska sielanka”, „Po?lubi?am komunist?”, „Ludzka skaza” – odmalowuje wielokulturowego molocha spo?ecznego, podatnego na autodestruktywne fobie i mody ideologiczne: lewacki anarchizm, prawicowy despotyzm, rasizm.„Spisek przeciwko Ameryce” wpisuje si? w?a?nie w ten najlepszy nurt pisarstwa wielokrotnego kandydata do literackiego Nobla, godnego nast?pcy wielkich mistrz?w prozy zza oceanu. W tej powie?ci Roth poddaje Ameryk? eksperymentowi historii alternatywnej: co by by?o gdyby w roku 1940, u szczytu szalej?cej za Altantykiem ...
Now that the present has caught up with William Gibson's vision of the future, which made him the most influential science fiction writer of the past quarter century, he has started writing about a time-our time-in which everyday life feels like science fiction. With his previous novel, , the challenge of writing about the present-day world drove him to create perhaps his best novel yet, and in he remains at the top of his game. It's a stripped-down thriller that reads like the best DeLillo (or the best Gibson), with the lives of a half-dozen evocative characters connected by a tightly converging plot and by the general senses of unease and wonder in our networked, post-9/11 time.
A collection of storiesFeaturing David Sedaris's unique blend of hilarity and heart, this new collection of keen-eyed animal-themed tales is an utter delight. Though the characters may not be human, the situations in these stories bear an uncanny resemblance to the insanity of everyday life.In "The Toad, the Turtle, and the Duck," three strangers commiserate about animal bureaucracy while waiting in a complaint line. In "Hello Kitty," a cynical feline struggles to sit through his prison-mandated AA meetings. In "The Squirrel and the Chipmunk," a pair of star-crossed lovers is separated by prejudiced family members.

…Вот зеркало. Оно терпеть тебя не может, потому и говорит: уходи, лучше тебе на меня не смотреть. Вот люди. Они терпеть тебя не могут, потому и говорят: уходи, лучше тебе не портить пейзаж. Вот человек. Он знать тебя не знает, потому и не говорит с тобой. А если бы знал, то поступил бы так же, как зеркало. Как люди, в чьих пейзажах тебе не место.Но есть другие зеркала. И другие люди. И другой человек. Они непременно увидели бы главное в тебе. И это главное прекрасно. Это главное — редкий дар. Осталось лишь найти их, и это совсем не так сложно, как кажется на первый взгляд…
