Клара и Солнце
A novel
Kazuo Ishiguro - 2021-03-02
Рейтинг Goodreads
Клара совсем новая. С заразительным любопытством из-за широкого окна витрины она впитывает в себя окружающий мир — случайных прохожих, проезжающие машины и, конечно, живительное Солнце. Клара хочет узнать и запомнить как можно больше — так она сможет стать лучшей Искусственной Подругой своему будущему подростку От того, кто выберет Клару, будет зависеть ее судьба. Чистый, отчасти наивный взгляд на реальность, лишь слегка отличающуюся от нашей собственной, — вот, что дарит новый роман Кадзуо Исигуро. Каково это — любить? И можно ли быть человеком, если ты не совсем человек? История, рассказанная с обескураживающей искренностью, заставит вас по-новому ответить на эти вопросы. Кадзуо Исигуро — лауреат Нобелевской и Букеровской премий; автор, чьи произведения продаются миллионными тиражами. Его новый роман «Клара и Солнце» — повествование на грани фантастики, тонкая спекулятивная реальность. Но, несмотря на фантастический флер, это история о семье, преданности, дружбе и человечности. Каково это — любить? И можно ли быть человеком, если ты не совсем человек?

If you like Mary Roach you'll like this. So much research. So much focus on the ethics and myths and stories in such a readable way. The @Ologies podcast did a great episode on the book recently called "Anthropodermic Biocodicology" if you need more convincing. :)      источник

Here for It
Or, How to Save Your Soul in America; Essays
R. Eric Thomas - 2020-02-18
Рейтинг Goodreads
This hilarious and poignant memoir-in-essays explores the struggles of growing up different in a world that demands conformity. Eric Thomas writes with humor and heart about his experiences reconciling his Christian identity with his sexuality, code-switching in college, and accidentally becoming internet famous. For fans of Samantha Irby, Michael Arceneaux, and David Sedaris, this book is a must-read for anyone who has ever felt like they didn't quite fit in.
