Publisher's Summary
Bloomsbury presents To Be a Man by Nicole Krauss, read by Nicole Krauss.
Deftly weaving from one end of life to another - from ageing parents to newborn babies, from a young girl’s coming of age to an old woman’s unexpected delivery of a strange new second youth, from mystery and wonder at a life at its close or at a future waiting to unfold, Nicole Krauss’ stories illuminate the moments in the lives of women in which the forces of sex, power and violence collide.
With sons and lovers, seducers and friends, husbands lost and regained, or husbands who were never husbands at all, how many men does a woman’s lifetime hold? What does it mean to be a man and a woman together; or a man and a woman, once together and now apart?
Beautiful, taut and dark, spinning across the world, from Switzerland, Japan and New York to Tel Aviv, Los Angeles and South America, To Be a Man delves with originality and timeliness into questions of masculinity and violence, regret and regeneration, control and desire; and shines a fierce, unwavering light onto men and women, and into the uncharted gulfs that lie between them.
Critic Reviews
"Stunning. Intellectually and emotionally intelligent and immaculately written." (Louise Kennedy)
