Description

Bezdomny, detektyw sklepowy, matka mordująca własne dziecko, gej dojrzewający do ojcostwa, autorka wchodząca w skomplikowane relacje ze swoimi bohaterami, w siedemnastu opowieściach, porównywanych z dokonaniami Josepha Conrada, W. Somerseta Maughama czy Iana McEwana, smutek miesza się ze szczęściem, szczerość z ironią, niewinność z perwersją, język biblijny z żywą mową współczesności. Zbiór opowiadań Bliźnięta Fahrenheit, wydany po siedmiu latach od debiutanckiego tomu Some Rain Must Fall, ugruntował pozycję Michela Fabera jako jednego z najważniejszych współczesnych pisarzy brytyjskich. Znany z absolutnego słuchu oraz wnikliwych portretów psychologicznych, autor udowadnia, że potrafi także umiejętnie korzystać z różnorodnych stylów literackich i nadawać swoim tekstom odmienne tonacje uczuciowe. Zbiór ukazał się również w wersji udźwiękowionej, z muzyką skomponowaną specjalnie na potrzeby tego projektu przez legendarnego brytyjskiego twórcę Briana Eno.
