Über dieses Produkt
Product Information
In 1997, at the distinguished Siddons School on Manhattan's Upper East Side, the school year opens with distressing news: Astra Dell is suffering from a rare disease. Astra's friends try to reconcile the sick girl's suffering with their own fierce longings and impetuous attachments. Car writes unsparing letters, which the dirty Marlene, in her devotion, then steals. Other classmates carry on: The silly team of Suki and Alex pursue Will Bliss while the subversive Lisa Van de Ven makes dates with Miss Wilkes. The world of private schools and privilege in New York City is funny, poignant, cruel, and at its heart is a sick girl, Astra Dell, "that pale girl from the senior class, the dancer with all the hair, the red hair, knotted or braided or let to fall to her waist, a fever and she consumed." National Book Award Finalist Christine Schutt has created a wickedly original tale of innocence, daring and illness.

Readers who love language and appreciate description will find All Souls worth reading.... Anyone who wants to read a high school story that's about more than just life as a model/fashionista/mean girl will enjoy this book., Set in a girls' school on Manhattan's Upper East Side, this book is a wonderfully written, touching story...an extraordinarily captivating take on the teachers', parents', and teens' troubled worlds...refreshing for this genre., Praise for ALL SOULS "[M]asterfully paced... Schutt's writing is sharp as ever, with a keen eye for life's everyday grotesqueries.... Schutt continues to capture the messiness and confusions particular to adolescence, but in All Souls, new terrain refreshes this writer's astringent voice."--TimeOut New York (four stars) "Readers who love language and appreciate description will find All Souls worth reading.... Anyone who wants to read a high school story that's about more than just life as a model/fashionista/mean girl will enjoy this book." -- ElleGirl.com, PRAISE FOR FLORIDA "Haunting and original, Florida is a beautiful book."--Claire Messud, author of The Emperor's Children "In Florida, Christine Schutt conveys, through an odd, beautiful, and original language, real truths about childhood and longing. She is a truly gifted writer."--George Saunders, author of Pastoralia --, "Readers who love language and appreciate description will find "All Souls" worth reading...Anyone who wants to read a high school story that's about more than just life as a model/fashionista/mean girl will enjoy this book.", The brutal, materialistic and dysfunctional underbelly of prep schools and the females who live in it create the foundation for Schutt's beautifully written but light-on-substance novel (following 2004's National Book Award finalist Florida). In the midst of 1997 Manhattan, all-girl prep school Siddons churns out ladies with a wide spectrum of academic skills, mental problems and severe insecurities, all of whom have been touched in some way by the novel's saintly lynchpin, Astra Dell, who leaves her studies behind to fight her rare cancer. Schutt introduces a large cast of characters who are dealing with Astra's absence and their own personal problems: Astra's best friend, anorexic Car; dirty girl Marlene; the inseparable and insensitive Alex and Suki; lesbian outcast Lisa; and their beloved instructors, the awkward Anna Mazur and Tim Weeks, the handsome colleague Anna's in love with. Unfortunately, Schutt shoehorns too many characters into a relatively thin book, and though there isn't a boring sentence in here, Schutt doesn't do enough with the familiar prep school setting to make the story resonate., The brutal, materialistic and dysfunctional underbelly of prep schools and the females who live in it create the foundation for Schutt's beautifully written but light-on-substance novel (following 2004's National Book Award finalist Florida ).

Unfortunately, Schutt shoehorns too many characters into a relatively thin book, and though there isn't a boring sentence in here, Schutt doesn't do enough with the familiar prep school setting to make the story resonate., (P)roves the puffy prep-school genre can shoulder real emotional weight--and that indeed, it sometimes should., Refreshingly strange.Schutt''s work... is fiercely intimate, laying bare the jagged lives of girls and women.... Schutt''s roving, kaleidoscopic vision-- often wickedly funny-- captures the quivering of all these souls in the heat of mortality.... It''s the foreign land of teenage girldom--where bodies relentlessly blossom and friendships resemble toruous love affairs-- that Schutt gets especially, achingly right.... ''All Souls'' is shot through with [Virginia] Woolf''s lyrical, restless spirit... The result is a bold, sharp story about teenage girls, class and illness, about those moments when we achieve the miracle of human connection -- and those when we don''t., In her latest novel, Christine Schutt once again proves herself an astute observer of human nature...Schutt seamlessly marries these girls to the unpredictable, indifferent threat of random fate, a clear, precise vision of privilege marred by tragedy., Praise for ALL SOULS "[M]asterfully paced...

Describing the small cosmos around an elite Upper East Side girls' school, Ms. Schutt imagines -- or penetrates -- an exclusive world at once sexy and lamentable, predictable but still mysterious.
