Product Information
From the award-winning author and New Yorker contributor, a riveting novel about secrets and scandals, psychiatry and pulp fiction, inspired by the lives of H.P. Lovecraft and his circle. Marina Willett, M.D., has a problem. Her husband, Charlie, has become obsessed with H.P. Lovecraft, in particular with one episode in the legendary horror writer's life- In the summer of 1934, the old gent lived for two months with a gay teenage fan named Robert Barlow, at Barlow's family home in central Florida. What were the two of them up to? Were they friends--or something more? Just when Charlie thinks he's solved the puzzle, a new scandal erupts, and he disappears. The police say it's suicide. Marina is a psychiatrist, and she doesn't believe them. A tour-de-force of storytelling, The Night Ocean follows the lives of some extraordinary people- Lovecraft, the most influential American horror writer of the 20th century, whose stories continue to win new acolytes, even as his racist views provoke new critics; Barlow, a seminal scholar of Mexican culture who killed himself after being blackmailed for his homosexuality (and who collaborated with Lovecraft on the beautiful story The Night Ocean ); his student, future Beat writer William S. Burroughs; and L.C. Spinks, a kindly Canadian appliance salesman and science-fiction fan -- the only person who knows the origins of The Erotonomicon, purported to be the intimate diary of Lovecraft himself. As a heartbroken Marina follows her missing husband's trail in an attempt to learn the truth, the novel moves across the decades and along the length of the continent, from a remote Ontario town, through New York and Florida to Mexico City. The Night Ocean is about love and deception -- about the way that stories earn our trust, and betray it.Product Identifiers

night ocean, review
at the end of the day the actual book itself, came in most excellent condition it had to be said the novel, this author, who recently passed away, will speak to people who like ‘magic realism’ and the kind of literary extrapolations of borges or italo calvino he played with history and narrative techniques whether writing about 19th-century France or H.P. Lovecraft. (La Farge is the author of the novels The Night Ocean, The Artist of the Missing, Haussmann, or the Distinction, and Luminous Airplanes, which continues as a large Web-based hypertext. He also wrote a book of imaginary dreams, The Facts of Winter) go read 📖📚Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
