Bunu sevdim. Yazı sadece sizi süpürüyor ve 70'lerde (geç) Albany'de eşcinsel yaşamın bu kadar net bir resmini çiziyor. Büyük karakterler de, özellikle saçma sapma, künt, ama işi halletmek, özel dedektif Donald Strachey ve etrafındaki insanlar. Kesinlikle daha fazla okumak istiyorum.
Arthur efsanesi, kadın kahramanı ya da Sihir ve Hristiyanlığın Yükselişi tarafından aynı perspektiften algılanan efsanedir. Her neyse, tamamlayamadığım uzun ve zor bir okuma. Hayatımda beni çok soğuk ve el değmemiş bırakan çok az kitap var.
Nice book. See the Masterpiece Theater movie too.
I liked it but there were times I was thinking it was too much like a soap opera. I really like all the history in it, esp. Lawrence of Arabia. I'm going to have to watch the movie now. I really liked the series as a whole.
A most enjoyable historical novel set in the aftermath of WWII America when atomic energy was all the rage. The story revolves around two teens whose fathers work/ed in the atomic energy field. The girls are smart and interested in technology and science, in a way that most of their female peers are not, and work at trying to fit into their high school world. The book deals effectively with the issues of family, minorities and gender inequalities. I quite liked it. My one complaint is that slang words and phrases from the era seemed to be thrown in a way that didn't quite flow. I'm picky about that stuff and so more sensitive to it, I guess. It's hard to write about another time period and not put our own perceptions into theirs.
This book once again shows that diaries should not be read by the public, due to how funny they are.
