With her own inexorable but utterly unpredictable logic and her almost uncanny ability to conjure the strange states of mind and emotion that constitute our daily consciousness, Eisenberg pulls us as if by gossamer threads through her charactersa tormented woman whose face determines her destiny; a group of film actors shocked to read a book about their past; a privileged young man who unexpectedly falls into a love affair with a human rights worker caught up in an all-consuming quest that he doesnt understand.In Eisenbergs world, the forces of money, sex, and power cannot be escaped, and the force of history, whether confronted or denied, cannot be evaded. No one writes better about time, tragedy and grief, and the indifferent but beautiful universe around us....757475Your Duck Is My Duck188229https://www.gandhi.com.mx/your-duck-is-my-duck-9780062688798/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/729255/762d67a4-ab8f-4214-9326-4636667d1d50.jpg?v=638424478827500000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20189780062688798_W3siaWQiOiIwZjFhOTZjOC03YzdlLTRmNzMtOGUzOC01YWVlZmFlNTVhZWQiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjIyOSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjQxLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjE4OCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMDQtMjRUMTQ6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780062688798_[Eisenberg] reminds us in every line of certain saving virtues: wit, wild intelligence, great heart, the beauty of the inquiring human voice. If our culture can produce a writer this wonderful, there must be something beautiful about us yet. George SaundersInstead of forcing her characters stories into neat, arbitrary, preordained shapes, [Eisenberg] allows them to grow organically into oddly shaped, asymmetrical narrativesnarratives that possess all the surprising twists and dismaying turns of real life. New York TimesDeborah Eisenberg, one of Americas finest writers, offers new ways of seeing and feeling, as if something were being perfected at the core. San Francisco ChronicleReading [Eisenberg] makes you wish, as you study the family in front of you in the grocery line, that you could see their thoughts rendered as one of Eisenbergs stunning inner monologues. Los Angeles Times...[S]uperlative and entertaining...Eisenberg is funny, grim, biting, and wise, but always with a light touch and always in the service of worlds that extend far beyond the page. A virtuoso at rendering the flickering gestures by which people simultaneously hide and reveal themselves, Eisenberg is an undisputed master of the short story. Publishers Weekly (starred review)[Eisenberg] is always worth the wait...so instantly absorbing that it feels like an abduction...This book offers no palliatives to its characters or to its readers no plan of action. But it is a compass. The New York TimesEisenberg is a gorgeous writer...I thank my stars that theres a writer in the increasingly imperiled world as smart and funny and blazingly moral and devastatingly sidelong as she is. New York Times Book ReviewEvery character is memorable, every situation seizes our attention, and not a single word is out of place...Its my fervent hope...that someday well have the opportunity to look back on the many more stories that Deborah Eisenberg has yet to write.
