"Surveillance" is a deftly and humanely worked out story of post-millenial Seattle. I found particular pleasure in the fact that it flouts a rule strictly enforced in writing workshops and book groups across the county (not to mention in the minds of people who think that Hollywood actually produces art): "Surveillance" fails to conclusively conclude. I could make an argument that the conclusion is rather too conclusive, but let me simply say that the events of the ending are rather too possible for those of us on the West Coast. They are also are in key with some of the atmospherics along the way, and so document to a degree the worries of the liberal imagination in these times. Until the ending, Surveillance quite skillfully inhabits the world of the "well-made novel", weaving four (and more) stories together gracefully, each of which changes perspective on the topic as whole. Particularly impressive is the portrait of Alida, Lucy Bengstrom's eleven-year old daughter, who is individual enough to stay in the mind, but with nary a speck of preciousness. But it is in the portrait of Lucy that "Surveillance" succeeds the most. "Waxwings" was mostly the story of a professor with an age and opinions close to Raban's, but Lucy is a 50 something single mother whose certainties and confusions ring true. Ultimately, each of the major character is compelling and treated sympathetically. There is dread in "Surveillance" and dis-ease, but the reason for it is deep-seated, suggested rather than discussed.

Hardcover. Condición: As New. Leichte Abnutzungen. In a near-future America, national identity cards are mandatory, and the government is fixated on intelligence-gathering. Surveillance is pervasive, with civilians indulging their curiosity online, journalists pursuing stories with tenacity, and children both spying on their parents and mastering new technologies. In Seattle, unfulfilled actor Tad Zachary primarily performs in fictional disaster scenarios for the Department of Homeland Security, while his neighbor, freelance journalist Lucy Bengstrom, struggles to support her eleven-year-old daughter, Alida, amid financial pressures and threats from their landlord. Lucy's assignment to profile August Vanags, a retired professor and best-selling author recounting his war-torn childhood, raises questions about the authenticity of his memoir, even as Lucy and Alida find themselves charmed by him and his lonely wife. In this world, everyone is either under surveillance or spying on others, blurring the lines between truth and fiction in a climate of personal stress and societal panic, where the specters of terrorist attacks and literary deceit loom large. With precision and compassion, the narrative explores a complex period in history, revealing a diverse array of lives entangled in the societal fault lines of the time.
