Beschreibungen
A New York Times Paperback Row Editor's ChoiceCombining the infectious narration of Nick Hornbys Funny Girl, the philosophical lyricism of Roberto Bolaos The Savage Detectives, and the mesmerizing power of Anna Norths The Life and Death of Sophie Stark, a breathtaking debut, brimming with youthful brio and irresistible humor, that chronicles a young mans friendship with a most peculiar artist.On a rooftop in Brooklyn on a spring night, a young intern and would-be writer, newly arrived from Copenhagen, meets the intriguing Ana Ivan. Clever and funny, with an air of mystery and melancholia, Ana is a performance artist, a mathematician, and a self-proclaimed time traveler. She is also bad luck, she confesses; she is from a cursed Romanian lineage.Before long, the intern finds himself seduced by Anas enthralling storiesof her unlucky countrymen; of her parents romance during the worst years of Nicolae Ceaucescus dictatorship; of a Daylight Savings switchover gone horribly wrong. Ana also introduces him to her latest artistic endeavor. Following the astronomical rather than the Gregorian calendar, she is trying to alter her sense of timean experiment that will lead her to live in complete darkness for one month.Descending into the blackness with Ana, the intern slowly loses touch with his own existence, entangling himself in the lives of Ana, her starry-eyed mother Maria, and her raging math-prodigy father Ciprian. Peeling back the layers of her past, he eventually discovers the perverse tragedy that has haunted Anas family for decades and shaped her journey from the streets of Bucharest to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and finally to New York City.The Invention of Ana blurs the lines between narrative and memory, perception and reality, identity and authenticity. In his stunning debut novel, Mikkel Rosengaard illuminates the profound power of stories to alter the world around usand the lives of the ones we love.
