À propos de cet audio

 NATIONAL BESTSELLER
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

One of the world’s greatest novelists returns with his first novel in seven years—a ghost story and a love story, spanning eight decades of sexual politics.

John Irving has written some of the most acclaimed books of our time—among them, The World According to Garp, The Cider House Rules, A Prayer for Owen Meany, and A Widow for One Year. TIME magazine describes his work as “epic and extraordinary and controversial and sexually brave.” Now Irving has written what he calls his last long novel—only shorter ones ahead.
In Aspen, Colorado, in 1941, Rachel Brewster is a slalom skier at the National Downhill and Slalom Championships. Little Ray, as she is called, finishes nowhere near the podium, but she manages to get pregnant. Back home, in New England, Little Ray becomes a ski instructor. Her son, Adam, grows up in a family that defies conventions and evades questions concerning the eventful past. Years later, looking for answers, Adam will go to Aspen. In the Hotel Jerome, where he was conceived, Adam will meet some ghosts; they aren’t the first or the last ghosts he sees.
If you’ve never read a John Irving novel, you’ll be captivated by storytelling that is tragic and comic, embodied by characters you’ll remember long after you’ve finished their story. If you have read John Irving before, you’ll rediscover the themes that made him a bard of alternative families—a visionary voice on the subject of sexual freedom. The author’s favourite tropes are here, but this meticulously plotted novel has powerful twists in store for readers. The Last Chairlift breaks new artistic ground for Irving, who has been called “among the very best storytellers at work today” (The Philadelphia Inquirer); “the American Balzac” (The Nation); “a pop star of literature, beloved by all generations” (Süddeutsche Zeitung, Munich); and “the voice of social justice and compassion in contemporary American literature” (The Globe and Mail). With The Last Chairlift, readers will once again be in John Irving’s thrall. Fiction de genre Fiction littéraire Fiction Fantôme Hanté

Loved it!

Long, too long. Good ideas, excellent character development. Ghosts a bit over done . Too much sex. Skiing medical and Canadian stuff well explained. I really do like his books and this may well be his last. I like his politics and his early books were his best.

Not his best

I love Irving’s characters and this book does not disappoint, but it suffers from being narrated. This story needs to be read not listened to. Listening to this book is tedious!

Insightful characterization, but tedious listen

John Irving has such a way at looking at the world that it makes one question your own values and prejudices. Thank you

Thought provoking

Could barely get through it. Skipped several chapters as there was too much unnecessary content. It might be because I just finished reading Prayer for Owen Meanie, so thought I’d try this since it was free ( thankfully). But one can only take so much telling of a young boy obsessed with his attractive single mom and on and on. Appreciate the unique characters but again too similar to Owen Meanie.

Tedious

not what I expected. good but very different. not great. the main characters think and discuss a lot about unusual personal encounters,puberty, etc. One of those books that seem better when you look back at its entirety vs each chapter and the characters thoughts and actions. the readers are good.

Very different and long

I’ve read all of JI’s books over the past 40 years. I like the characters, but the story was familiar because I’d already read these characters and their life stories in the other publications. It did ramble but I’m a trooper. I didn’t like the screen play portions of the book nor did if find the singing cowboy or the stand up act funny. I’ll go back and reread some of his old novels I suppose. The narrator sounded just like the guy who used to lip sync a dog begging for food on YouTube, which I did find funny.

Amalgamation of all his books
