The Snow Queen

di Michael Cunningham (Autore)

Danes Claire (Narratore)

Fourth Estate, 2017

From the author of THE HOURS ‘Luminously written … page-turningly enjoyable, this is a profound novel about love from a highly regarded, Pulitzer-winning novelist’ Sunday Times Walking through Central Park, Barrett Meeks sees a translucent light in the sky that regards him in a distinctly godlike way. Barrett doesn’t believe in visions – or in God – but he can’t deny what he’s seen. In nearby Brooklyn, Tyler, Barrett’s older brother, is trying – and failing – to write a wedding song for Beth, his wife-to-be, who is seriously ill. Barrett turns unexpectedly to religion, while Tyler grows convinced that only drugs can release his creative powers. The Snow Queen, beautiful and heartbreaking, comic and tragic, proves again that Cunningham is one of the great novelists of his generation. In The Snow Queen, Michael Cunningham delivers a literary masterpiece that is both real and magical. The novel's satirical undertones and humorous moments, combined with its exploration of the supernatural and the occult, make it a standout in the realm of fantasy fiction. For fans of Colm Tóibín (Long Island), Sally Rooney (Intermezzo), Andrew O'Hagan (Mayflies), Elizabeth Strout (Tell Me Everything), and Anne Enright (The Wren, The Wren).
