Résumé
"Gilbert's dead-on mimicry of conversational rhythms makes even the most ludicrous exchanges sound plausible, and he applies physical details sparingly and potently...wickedly funny." --Adam Goodheart, The New York Times Book ReviewThe masterfully crafted stories that comprise Remote Feed mark the… auspicious debut of a daring and remarkably perceptive writer. From war-torn Bosnia to a college sorority house to kill-or-be-killed Hollywood, David Gilbert uses bold prose and dark wit to paint a devastating picture of "normal" life on the brink of desperation and paranoia. His insights into the minor tragedies, disappointments, and desires that shape us reflect a deep understanding of human nature and a genuine compassion for his characters.Filled with startling twists, piercing irony, and layers of meaning, the world Gilbert creates in Remote Feed is a complex one--often hilarious, sometimes frightening, but always fascinating."The short stories in David Gilbert's Remote Feed speak volumes about the ways modern men seek adventure and comfort." --Sara Nelson, Glamour"These stories are funny and thoroughly entertaining...Keep an eye on this guy David Gilbert." --Mike Musgrove, The Washington Post
