Anthony Doerr Boeken
27 oktober 1973
Anthony Doerr schrijft met een verfijnde gevoeligheid voor detail en de schoonheid van de wereld, zelfs in de donkerste tijden. Zijn proza duikt in complexe menselijke verbindingen en onderzoekt diepgaande ervaringen, met een bijzondere nadruk op empathie en de manieren waarop we ons over grote afstanden verbinden. Lezers voelen zich aangetrokken tot zijn vermogen om levendige beelden en personages te creëren die lang na de laatste pagina blijven resoneren. Zijn werk getuigt van de veerkracht van de menselijke geest en de zoektocht naar licht in omstandigheden die anders tot wanhoop zouden kunnen leiden.

Four Seasons in Rome
On Twins, Insomnia and the Biggest Funeral in the History of the World
The author describes the year he spent in Rome after winning the Rome Prize, including his adventures around the city, life in a foreign but welcoming country, and parenthood as it applies to his newborn twins
In this astonishingly assured, exquisitely crafted debut collection, Anthony Doerr takes readers from the African coast to the suburbs of Ohio, from sideshow pageantry to harsh wilderness survival, charting a vast and varied emotional landscape. Like the best storytellers, Doerr explores the human condition in all its manifestations: metamorphosis, grief, fractured relationships, and slowly mending hearts. Most dazzling is Doerr's gift for conjuring nature in both its beautiful abundance and crushing power. Some of his characters contend with tremendous hardship; some discover unique gifts; all are united by their ultimate deference to the mysteries of their respective landscapes.

Presents a selection of the best works of short fiction of the past year from a variety of acclaimed sources.
Set on four continents, stories about memory.
David Winkler begins life in Anchorage, Alaska, a quiet boy drawn to the volatility of weather and obsessed with snow. Sometimes he sees things before they happen—a man carrying a hatbox will be hit by a bus; Winkler will fall in love with a woman in a supermarket. When David dreams that his infant daughter will drown in a flood as he tries to save her, he comes undone. He travels thousands of miles, fleeing family, home, and the future itself, to deny the dream. On a Caribbean island, destitute, alone, and unsure if his child has survived or his wife can forgive him, David is sheltered by a couple with a daughter of their own. Ultimately it is she who will pull him back into the world, to search for the people he left behind.
