About book Alles Wat Is (2013)

Salter mette l'eleganza e la moda a compiacere il lettore, con un manierismo da affinamento in alta società: elitario, snob e wasp. Si tratta di un romanzo sentimentale che non affonda mai un colpo; lo stile è elevato, definito e accurato, la prosa è ben connotata, ma ordinaria. Il mondo descritto è quello dell'editoria e dei suoi simulacri: del successo e del declino, della vanità e dell'insensatezza, di fallimenti tremendamente invisibili, di un sesso in equilibrio tra decadenza e insignificanza. Un libro del quale è difficile innamorarsi, mentre l'autore tarda troppo ad acquisire una propria voce. This is one of those books I enjoyed but don 't know why. I think it was the plain matter of fact writing style. In terms of actually understanding the rather banal point of view this novel engendered , I am at a loss. There was a bit of everyday sex combined with revenge , tragedy, and getting older. If the message of this is "all there is" was the point, I actually feel sorry for the author who otherwise is a talented writer.
