Ira Levin Livres
27 août 1929 – 12 novembre 2007
Ira Levin fut un maître du suspense et de l'horreur, dont les œuvres étaient réputées pour leur construction méticuleuse et leur atmosphère troublante. Souvent comparé à un 'horloger suisse', Levin tissait habilement des éléments de suspense, de terreur psychologique et de commentaire social dans des récits qui résonnaient avec les angoisses contemporaines. Sa capacité à exploiter les aspects les plus sombres de la nature humaine et de la société lui a valu la reconnaissance de la critique et un lectorat fidèle. Les histoires de Levin explorent fréquemment les limites de la moralité et la nature insidieuse du mal dans des contextes apparemment ordinaires.
The Stepford Wives
Lektüre
For Joanna, her husband, Walter, and their children, the move to beautiful Stepford seems almost too good to be true. It is. For behind the town's idyllic facade lies a terrible secret -- a secret so shattering that no one who encounters it will ever be the same. At once a masterpiece of psychological suspense and a savage commentary on a media-driven society that values the pursuit of youth and beauty at all costs, The Stepford Wives is a novel so frightening in its final implications that the title itself has earned a place in the American lexicon.
