   No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.  arthurfrayn | Aug 13, 2023 |   Quien ilumina estas vidas en transición y nos guía por estas evocadoras páginas es la mente del novelista Nathan Zuckerman. Su inteligencia, escéptica y envolvente, calcula el precio que ha de pagar todo el que desee modificar su suerte y dar nueva forma a la historia, sea en una clínica odontológica de los alrededores de Nueva Jersey, en un pueblo tradicional de Gloucestershire, en una iglesia del West End londinense o en un diminuto asentamiento judío de Cisjordania.

I marched on hoping for a denouement which strikes a chord. It never came. (  )1  jigarpatel | Mar 31, 2019 | Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

The Counterlife is about people enacting their dreams of renewal and escape, some of them going so far as to risk their lives to alter seemingly irreversible destinies. Wherever they may find themselves, the characters of The Counterlife are tempted unceasingly by the prospect of an alternative existence that can reverse their fate. Illuminating these lives in transition and guiding us through the book's evocative landscapes, familiar and foreign, is the miind of the novelist Nathan Zuckerman. His is the skeptical, enveloping intelligence that calculates the price that's paid in the struggle to change personal fortune and reshape history, whether in a dentist's office in suburban New Jersey, or in a tradition-bound English Village in Gloucestershire, or in a church in London's West End, or in a tiny desert settlement in Israel's occupied West Bank.

The second chapter "Judea" which is about the central protagonist going to Israel to visit his brother -gone miltant Zionist extremist, is compelling reading. (
