The Blazing World: A Novel (Hardcover)

Customer Review

The artist Harriet Burden feels ignored and it will show the narcissistic-decadent art world really sleep. So she creates in a period of five years three installations that are actually all great successes, only with the small hooks that it has been involved for each project a man who acts for the public as a creator. As a final act, they want to leave the bomb and thus let the world know that it's all about appearance and Marketing in the art world and women are still being discriminated against. Years later encounters Professor Hess (whether it is a man or a woman, is not clear) on this failed coup and attempted to reconstruct the exact processes that have led to this experiment. The records consist of diary entries of the now deceased Harriet, various interviews, records of the subsidiary and the lover, and much more. So slowly gives a complete picture of a mistaken idea that slowly gets out of control and provides a deep insight into the psyche of a wounded woman and egomaniacal.

Siri Hustvedts new book The Blazing World is an incredibly exciting novel that captivates cover to cover and fascinates with its disclosure of human abysses. As in "What I loved" and "The Sorrows of an American" Hustvedt shows once again how well it knows how to combine sophistication and entertainment. With its brilliant language she always manages to make comment on the tangled and complex events of the outsider characters and therefore fit into a broader context: "But it is not what is said that makes us who we are More Often it is what. remains unspoken "(51). "The Blazing World" is a must for lovers of contemporary American literature.
