En savoir plus sur le livre
Marigold and Rose is a magical fiction from Nobel laureate Louise Glück, chronicling the first year of twin girls' lives. The story begins with Marigold absorbed in her book, setting the stage for a tale that intertwines fairy tale elements with a multigenerational saga. This narrative serves as both a duet and a symphony, echoing themes reminiscent of Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, while also acting as an incandescent act of autobiography. The narrative features familiar elements—Father, Mother, Grandmother, bath time, and naptime—but delves deeper into the mysteries of language and time. It explores the essence of existence, reflecting on what has been and what will be. The twins experience life outside their playpen, where day and night merge into the concept of time, marked by the arrival of rain and snow. They learn to navigate their world, climbing stairs and communicating through the bars of their cribs. Amidst this journey, the story balances sadness and humor, infused with a sense of stoic wonder. This remarkable work, following Glück's previous poetry and essays, stands apart from her earlier writings while remaining inevitable and transcendent.
