Upsetting Tranquility,
By buchwurm (Hungary) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tranquility (Paperback)
In brief: a young man tries to cope with the love-hate relationship that binds him to his narcissistic and dominant mother and determines his entire life.
Highly recommended. I've read the Hungarian original and Goldstein's rendering won the Best Translated Book Award in 2008 so I hope that this masterpiece will be widely read by English speakers - it really deserves attention.

'Beautifully written',

This review is from: Tranquility (Paperback)
Perhaps like most people on this site, I read a lot. Often I'm left wondering why as so many books are disappointing. Fear not. Bartis' 'Tranquility' is engrossing, beautifully crafted and a delight to read.
His descriptions are sublime, unique and poetic. The book itself is fine. From the size of it, the way the writing is spaced, the texture of the pages, it all presents a sensual delight for the fingers and eyes. If you like books about and for the human condition, our awful rawness, our lies and deceptions, our truth and the way we love and hate, our society and climate, how it effects who we are, if you enjoy beautifully woven words and an intense comand of language, this is the book for you. It is one of my all time favourites.
