Мир глазами Гарпа book cover
Мир глазами Гарпа
A Novel (Ballantine Reader's Circle)
John Irving - 1999-04-01 (впервые опубликовано в 1978)
Рейтинг Goodreads
Трагикомическая сага от знаменитого автора «Отеля Нью-Гэмпшир» и «Правил виноделов», «Мужчин не ее жизни» и «Последней ночи у Извилистой реки», «Сына цирка» и «Молитвы об Оуэне Мини», панорамный бурлеск, сходный по размаху с «Бойней номер пять» Курта Воннегута или «Уловкой-22» Джозефа Хеллера. Именно «Мир глазами Гарпа» сделал Ирвинга современным классиком; роман был удостоен премии Национального книжного фонда, входил в шортлист Национальной книжной премии США, а также, по упорным слухам, и в шортлист Пулицеровской премии (оглашать Пулицеровские шортлисты начали ровно со следующего премиального года). «Мир глазами Гарпа» — это современная сага о семье, живущей в нашем беспощадном мире, члены которой пытаются, каждый по-своему и с переменным успехом, обрести гармонию. Главный герой романа — писатель, скандально знаменитый как своими книгами, так и обстоятельствами своего появления на свет; его произведения, реалистичные и абсурдные, вплетены в ткань романа. Сам автор точнее всего определил отношение будущих читателей к книге: «Она, возможно, вызовет порой улыбку даже у самого мрачного типа, однако разобьет немало чересчур нежных сердец».

Rodham
A Novel
Curtis Sittenfeld - 2020-05-19
Рейтинг Goodreads
"Rodham" is a fascinating novel that imagines what would have happened if Hillary Rodham had not married Bill Clinton. In this bold alternate reality, Hillary blazes her own trail, facing the challenges of female ambition in a world still run mostly by men. From Yale Law School to the forefront of student activism and the women’s rights movement, this riveting tale explores the emotional and physical connection that she finds with Bill, and the devastating breakup that ensues. Curtis Sittenfeld delivers an uncannily astute and witty story for our times, weaving a fictional narrative into actual historical events, making "Rodham" an unforgettable novel.

And the Band Played On
Randy Shilts - 2000-04-09 (впервые опубликовано в 1987)
Рейтинг Goodreads
This investigative masterpiece delves into the spread of AIDS in the early 80s and the institutions that ignored or denied the threat. A modern classic, it changed the discourse surrounding AIDS and remains essential reading 20 years after its initial publication.

Timely book recommendation: if you've never read it, AND THE BAND PLAYED ON is Randy Shilts' incredible telling of the early days of the AIDS epidemic. Dr. Anthony Fauci has a starring, and heroic, role.      источник
