Long Lankin by John Banville
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 110 KB
Overview: A collection of short stories from the early years of Man Booker Prize-winning author John Banville’s career, Long Lankin explores the passionate emotions—fear, jealousy, desire—that course beneath the surface of everyday life. From a couple at risk of being torn apart by the allure of wealth to an old man’s descent into nature, the tales in this collection showcase the talents that launched Banville onto the literary scene. Offering a unique insight into the mind of “one of the great living masters of English-language prose” (Los Angeles Times), these nine haunting sketches stand alone as canny observations on the turbulence of the human condition.
John Banville never disappoints. His stylish and precise prose captures the frailty and chaos of the human condition brilliantly. It’s impossible to gloss over his narrative or read without full engagement. The words breathe, discriminately constructed to elicit a visceral pathos or empathy. First published in 1970, this thin volume of nine short stories pulsates to stir the senses and provides a fine escapism from the banality of everyday by its keen uninhibited focus on the hidden turbulence that rocks beneath the skin and sinew. The characters that emanate from Long Lankin are memorable and poignantly relatable. Very satisfying and intelligent read.
