Seller: BOUQUINIST, München, BY, Germany
Taschenbuch. Kartoniert. Condition: Gut. Erste Auflage dieser Ausgabe. 323 (13) Seiten. 19 cm. Umschlagkonzept: Balk & Brumshagen. Lesetipp des Bouquinisten! Guter Zustand. Die New Yorkerin Margaret, Ende Zwanzig, schüchtern, schön und erfolgreich, ist sich plötzlich der Liebe zu ihrem Mann, einem smarten Professor, nicht mehr sicher. Auslöser ist ein Buch aus dem 18. Jahrhundert: 'Rameaus Nichte'. Während der Arbeit an der Übersetzung erkennt Margaret, daß dieser Verschnitt verschiedenster philosophischer Texte, getarnt als Éducation philosophique, eigentlich ein pornographischer Roman ist. Er reißt Margaret in Eskapaden der sinnlichen Phantasie und der realen Verwirrungen, in ein Vexierspiel aus Wunsch und Begehren. 'Was für diesen Roman am meisten einnimmt, ist seine hinreißende Komik. Sie nistet in den Ritzen zwischen gesellschaftlichem Schein und privatem Sein, sie blüht auf in den kommunikativen Mißverständnissen, sie rückt die handelnden Personen ins milde Licht menschlicher Fehlbarkeit.' FRANKFURTER RUNDSCHAU. - Cathleen Schine (* 1953 in Westport, Connecticut, USA) ist eine US-amerikanische Schriftstellerin. Der Schwerpunkt ihrer schulischen Ausbildung am Sarah-Lawrence-College lag zunächst auf dem Gebiet des Creative Writing" und dem Schreiben von Gedichten. Doch schon dort wechselte ihr Hauptinteresse: nunmehr stand die mittelalterliche Literatur mit der Konzentration auf die illustrierten Texte des 13. Jahrhunderts im Mittelpunkt ihres Studiums, das sie in New York, am Barnard College und an der Columbia University fortführte. Im Alter von 20 Jahren wurde bei ihr Colitis, eine entzündliche und schmerzhafte Darmerkrankung diagnostiziert. Während der langwierigen Therapie begann Cathleen Schine, für das Magazin The Village Voice" über diese Erfahrungen zu schreiben. Der Herausgeber ermutigte sie, das Material auch für ein Buch zu verwenden. So debütierte sie 1983 mit dem Roman Alice in Bed", der das Leben einer gewitzten, an einer schmerzhaften Hüfterkrankung leidenden jungen Frau erzählt und von der Kritik lobend rezensiert wurde. Cathleen Schine lebt als freie Schriftstellerin mit ihrem Mann, dem Filmkritiker David Denby, und ihren beiden Söhnen in Manhattan und schreibt für mehrere Zeitungen und Magazine, unter anderem für die New York Times Book Review" und The New York Review of Books". Mehrere ihrer Romane wurden bislang verfilmt. Aus wikipedia-Cathleen_Schine. - - - "Es ist das schiere Vergnügen, Cathleen Schines wunderbar erfindungsreicher komischer Stimme zuzuhören, mit der sie eine Frau beschreibt, die durch theoretische Überlegungen an den Rand des Wahnsinns getrieben wird." N.Y. Times Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 290.
