The bowl is an observer supreme of human, drawing on нажмите чтобы перейти its experience that enables it to categorise human noses, mouths, breasts etc according to its own schemata. There are humans characters too. There is virginal Rosa, who works at detecting fake antiques from the true ones.

As she searches for true love and lurches from disaster to disaster, the bowl increasingly provides her true communion of the soul. The bowl in turn can read her, feeding stories that may or may not have been witnessed by it so fantastical are the collector book goodreads free download.

The tale of the undying man reminded me of the writing of Italo Calvino collectpr there is also a hint of the Tales of The Arabian Nights too. Yet it is the character of Nikki who bursts into Rosa’s life that is the real comic triumph of the novel. She is viciously self-centred and exploitative, taking every chance to rip off her friend Rosa. She is sex obsessed and has men feeding out of the palm of her hand. Yet Fischer makes this monster still have sufficient human appeal so that the reader doesn’t reject her out of hand.

Both use hip, flip language, vree that detonate on the page, in their search for comedy vook every page. But somehow I find Lipsyte soulless, where Fischer maintains a charm and enough philosophical depth to give goodrexds reader more than an appreciative chuckle. Highly recommended. But don’t try and answer the question what it’s about! Jun 05, Hoby rated it it was amazing. One of the best book written for anything EVER.

I love this story so much I could marry it. It contains смотрите подробнее of the snarkiest humor you’re likely to find in a plot line and a treasure trove of glorious vignettes. My only beef with the book is that it runs a bit ragged at the end – the author’s wit trails off, ideas wane, and resorts to just telling what happens. But up til that point.

Reading The Collector Collector was really embarrassing. The kind of embarrassment you feel when someone you care about tries too hard. Fischer tries too hard. Annoying wit; annoying wordplay. Plot is not holding together; rather than a plot, it’s a bunch of disconnected vignettes and anecdotes.

Presumably, a narrator – an ancient ceramic vase that seen it all and then some – was supposed to glue all the pieces together. It didn’t work Reading The Collector Collector bok really embarrassing. It didn’t work out very well. Despite the technical flaws, I love the novel.

There is no “plot” plot, but there is a story to it. View 1 comment. Nov 26, J.
