Format:Taschenbuch
Harry Joy, who suffers a heart attack right at the beginning of the novel, is before this moment a closed-eye fun loving (and liked by everbody around him) guy with a very strange family, considering that his wife has an affair with his companion, which is pervetedly beaten by his daughter, by her constantly paying off her brother's deliveries of marijuana with oral sex. All of this is not seen by Harry Joy.
After reanimation and successful heart surgery, Harry returns to his life, all of a sudden seeing things he had previously not seen, making him think that he has actually returned to hell.
Many strange happenings occur, Harry is taken to mental hospital, Harry's new girlfriend (and ex-part-time-whore) Honey Barbara eventually moves in with Harry and his children, still wife and her new lover, the level of Peter Carey's imagination is nearly surrealistic. His humor is scathing, coarse, dark and wry. There are many moments when there is no possiblity to refrain from laughing out aloud. Nevertheless, this novel is perhaps a bit too much time-referenced to the time of it's making, the mid-eighties, with Carey inventing (and making fun of) a kind of post-hippie situation. The only moment which makes me a wee bit unhappy is the in my opinion overpainted moment before the coda (which is the last chapter). Imaginative writing, brilliant ideas, a surrealistic great fun read it definetely is, a virtuoso performance.

Format:Taschenbuch
Peter Careys' book 'Bliss' is a pure poetry (and in places almost reads like it). If you ever see it in a book store, just pick it up and read the last page to get an idea of the artistry of this man. Harry Joy has had a heart attack and experienced several minutes of clinical death. As he recovers, he begins to doubt that he came back to life at all and Harry takes a long, hard look at his life, family, friends and job.

carey versteht es, die wichtigen dinge im leben unaufdringlich zu untermauern. dieses buch ist erschreckend wirklich und eindrucksvoll geschrieben (ich kenne allerdings nur das englische orginal). geöffnete augen sind nicht gleichbedeutend mit sehen. doch schon ein kleiner blick hinter die fassade unserer gesellschaft und wirklichleit kann uns die augen wirklich öffnen, man muss nur sehen wollen. die beschreibung einer welt wie sie ist, scheinbar jeden tag gleich, und doch für harry joy von einer minute auf die andere so verändert, dass er nicht mehr damit umgehen zu können glaubt, lässt auf das gute ende der geschichte hoffen. doch was ich jeden tag auf's neue lerne, ist, dass man den erhofften weg selbst einschlagen muss. peter careys roman ist fesselnd und bewegt zum nachdenken.

It's hard to surprise anyone who has read extensively -- the plot is usually predictable, the outcome clear, and the path hackneyed. Lesen Sie weiter...
