The ferocious dazzling prose of Aidan Higgins, the pure architecture of his sentences, take the breath out of you. He is one of our great writers. --Annie Proulx
In you, together with the beginner, is the old hand. --Samuel Beckett
His characters, eccentric, tattered, inconsequent, slowly and powerfully burning up their lives, are unwieldy and magnificent...Aidan Higgins is a writer of great originality and strength. --The Sunday Times
Aidan Higgins’s greatest novel has long been unavailable, and is here reissued in a new and revised edition. Balcony of Europe, which was shortlisted for the 1972 Booker Prize, tells the story of a complacent young Jewish wife from San Francisco and a middle-aged Irish painter who meet in a village on the coast of Spain, beginning an affair during the coldest European winter in two hundred years—all the while surrounded by a cast of characters as bizarre and hilarious as they are, finally, touching. Lyrical and humorous, heartbreaking and hopeful, Balcony of Europe is Aidan Higgins’s crowning achievement.

8°. 358 pages. Original Softcover. Inscribed and signed by Aidan Higgins to irish photographer John Minihan on the front free endpaper. Aidan Higgins (born 3 March 1927) is an Irish writer. His upbringing in a landed Catholic family in Celbridge, County Kildare, Ireland, provided material for his first experimental novel, Langrishe, Go Down (1966). The book was awarded the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction and was later adapted as a BBC television film by British playwright Harold Pinter, in association with RTÉ. Various writings have been collected and reprinted by the Dalkey Archive Press, including his three volume autobiography, A Bestiary, and a collection of fiction, Flotsam and Jetsam, both of which demonstrate his wide erudition and his experience of life and travel in South Africa, Germany and London which gives his writing a largely cosmopolitan feel, utilizing a range of European languages in turns of phrase. He now lives in Kinsale, County Cork, and is a Saoi of Aosdána. (Wikipedia) Sprache: english. Nº de ref. del artículo: 23180AB
