Diverse The Last Chairlift Belletristik von Irving John

The Last Chairlift

John Irving, one of the world's greatest novelists, returns with his first novel in seven years - a ghost story, a love story, and a lifetime of sexual politics. In Aspen, Colorado, in 1941, Rachel Brewster is a slalom skier at the National Downhill and Slalom Championships. Little Ray, as she is called, finishes nowhere near the podium, but she manages to get pregnant. Back home, in New England, Little Ray becomes a ski instructor. Her son, Adam, grows up in a family that defies conventions and evades questions concerning the eventful past. Years later, looking for answers, Adam will go to Aspen. In the Hotel Jerome, where he was conceived, Adam will meet some ghosts; in The Last Chairlift, they aren't the first or the last ghosts he sees. John Irving has written some of the most acclaimed books of our time - among them, The World According to Garp and The Cider House Rules. A visionary voice on the subject of sexual tolerance, Irving is a bard of alternative families. In The Last Chairlift, readers will once more be in his thrall.

John Irving, einer der grössten Romanautoren der Welt, kehrt mit seinem ersten Roman seit sieben Jahren zurück – einer Geistergeschichte, einer Liebesgeschichte und einem Leben voller sexueller Politik. In Aspen, Colorado, im Jahr 1941, ist Rachel Brewster eine Slalomskifahrerin bei den nationalen Abfahrts- und Slalommeisterschaften. Little Ray, wie sie genannt wird, landet weit entfernt vom Podium, schafft es aber, schwanger zu werden. Zu Hause in Neuengland wird Little Ray Skilehrerin. Ihr Sohn Adam wächst in einer Familie auf, die Konventionen trotzt und Fragen zur ereignisreichen Vergangenheit ausweicht. Jahre später, auf der Suche nach Antworten, wird Adam nach Aspen reisen. Im Hotel Jerome, wo er gezeugt wurde, wird Adam einigen Geistern begegnen; in The Last Chairlift sind sie nicht die ersten oder letzten Geister, die er sieht. John Irving hat einige der am meisten gefeierten Bücher unserer Zeit geschrieben – darunter Das Leben nach Garp und Die Regeln des Apfelhauses. Als visionäre Stimme zum Thema sexuelle Toleranz ist Irving ein Barde alternativer Familien. In The Last Chairlift werden die Leser einmal mehr in seinen Bann gezogen.
