Crackpot Palace

Eclectic is certainly an adjective that can be used to describe the work of the phenomenal Jeffrey Ford—along with imaginative, provocative, mesmerizing, and brilliant. His powerful dark fantasy, The Physiognomy, was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year; his novel, The Girl in the Glass, won the Edgar® Award, mystery and crime fiction’s most prestigious prize. Crackpot Palace is Ford’s fourth superb collection of short fiction, and in it, his prodigious talent shines as brightly as ever. Here are twenty tales both strange and wonderful, filled with mad scientists, vampires, lost souls, and Native American secrets, from an author who has been glowingly compared to Kafka, Dante, and Caleb Carr (The Alienist).

Eclectica este cu siguranta un adjectiv care poate fi folosit pentru a descrie opera fenomenalului Jeffrey Ford - alaturi de imaginatie, provocare, fascinant si stralucitor. Fantezia sa intunecata, puternica, The Physiognomy, a fost o carte notabila a anului din New York Times; romanul sau, The Girl in the Glass, a castigat Premiul Edgar®, cel mai prestigios premiu pentru mister si fictiune criminala.
