Description

The narrator of Ben Lerner's new novel has travelled to Providence, where he is to conduct what will be the final published interview with Thomas, his ninety-year-old mentor, and the father of his college friend, Max. But after the narrator drops his smartphone in the hotel sink, he arrives at Thomas's house with no recording device, a fact he is mysteriously unable to confess.What unfolds from this dreamlike circumstance is both the unforgettable story of the triangle formed by Thomas, Max, and the narrator, and a brilliant meditation on those technologies that enrich or impoverish our connection to each other, that store or obliterate the memories that make us who we are.

Ein kluger Roman über die Technik, Bildschirme, das Vatersein und das Erinnern und Vergeben. Rhetorisch ist das hier fantastisch geschrieben. Lerner lässt, seine wenigen Charaktere, lange monologisieren und bringt so den Leser zum nachdenken über das eigene Leben und die Abhängigkeit zur Technik. Ein fantastischer kurzer Roman.
