Articoli correlati a Ray of the Star
Soon after arriving in an old and extraordinary place, Harry discovers Solange, a heartbroken artist who performs as a silent, silver angel awash in Lucite tears. Haunted by his own mysterious tragedy but determined to woo her, Harry visits Almundo's Store for Living Statues and begins his transformation into the golden "Knight of the Woeful Countenance."
As the two reckon with seers offering answers to insoluble questions, neighbors who take evening strolls with the dearly departed, critics who control more than artistic fare, and shoes determined to lead their wearers astray, they come to understand the price of survival and what it means to travel along the ray of the star.
Set in a dream-like European city reminiscent of Barcelona, along a boulevard teeming with artists who perform as living statues, comes the story of a man running from his past, a woman consumed by grief, and the forces that pursue them both. Stylish and dark in the manner of continental cinema, this is a tale where friends are also informers, street theater is the lifeblood of culture, and refuge can be found in the belly of a yellow, papier mache submarine.

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A tender love story related in the dark, stylish noir of continental cinema and overlaid with a patina of Surrealism, this is also a mediation about how we cope with unimaginable tragedy (like those of the main characters, one of whom lost their entire family and the other who lost a lover to unspeakable violence) and how we battle the demons that accompany it. The main character describes the buildings of this Barcelona-like, nameless city as designed by the sort of visionary / crackpot who every generation or so arises in great metropolises and pulls fistfuls of the future out of his pockets and smears them all over the present. The same could be said of Laird Hunt, a visionary writer, whose work, like Antoni Gaudis architecture, heralds the future. Laird Hunt has developed a tech-savvy cult following and is a favorite among literary bloggers. A reading from his debut novel was one of the first live, literary web casts, and the promotion for his previous book included an official filmed trailer (viewable at YouTube) and a video, shot by lit blogger Bud Parr (viewable at Chekovs Mistress). For this novel, the main characters will be on Twitter and well do some Facebook promotion. Theater students will also film reenactments from the novel for broadcast on YouTube. An atmospherically intense love story and a thrilling, fantastical tale of lost souls in peril. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9781566892322
