Beschreibung

In "Open Water," Arthur Stringer masterfully weaves a narrative that explores the intricacies of human emotion against the vast backdrop of nature. Utilizing lyrical prose and vivid imagery, this novel captures the tumultuous experiences of its characters as they grapple with themes of isolation, love, and the relentless pull of the sea. Set in a time when maritime adventures were emblematic of personal discovery, Stringer draws on his deep appreciation for the ocean's beauty and menace, creating a space where the characters' internal struggles mirror the unpredictable tides of the open water. Arthur Stringer, a prolific Canadian author and playwright, was deeply influenced by his travels and experiences as a sailor. His extensive background in journalism and literature not only shaped his understanding of human nature but also informed his nuanced depictions of characters navigating life's turbulent waters. Stringer's ability to encapsulate complex psychological landscapes suggests a profound sympathy for those lost in their personal storms, likely stemming from his own multifaceted life experiences. "Open Water" is highly recommended for readers who appreciate literary fiction that delves into the depths of the human psyche while beautifully contextualizing emotional struggles within the grandeur of nature. Stringer'Äôs elegant prose invites readers to lose themselves in a narrative as expansive and unpredictable as the ocean itself.

    “Engrossing stories of hilarity and heartbreak” from the Whitbread Award–winning author of the Old Filth trilogy (The Seattle Times). 
     
    A collection of stories from a writer at the height of her powers—a celebrated stylist admired for her caustic humor, freewheeling imagination, love of humanity, and wicked powers of observation. This is a delightful grouping of stories, witty and wise, that includes the return of Sir Edward Feathers, “Old Filth” himself. 
     
    “[Gardam’s] stories, like delicate tapestries, are alight with colors.” —The Times (London) 
     
    “When Gardam hits her mark, like other exemplary short-story writers such as William Trevor, Sylvia Townsend Warner and Elizabeth Taylor, she can be dazzling.” —The Guardian 
     
    “Gardam’s brisk narration and fearless temperament make for serious fun.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) 
     
    “Wry, economical and perpetually surprising, these 14 stories from English novelist Gardam follow the last of the intrepid, stiff upper lip WWII generation of British ladies and gentlemen. . . . Gardam vividly evokes an age of iron wills.” —Publishers Weekly 
     
    “Gardam displays the consummate skill of the short-story-teller, which is that of the caricaturist, the ability to capture a personality in a few brief strokes. . . . Privilege Hill is a collection of gentle stories that you could read to your grandmother, with the kind of sharp wit that would no doubt give her a secret smile. But they’re deeper than they look . . . so don’t read them all at once.” —The Bookbag
