Has anyone read Queen Esther by John Irving?
I'm so disappointed. I'm a huge Irving fan but this one needs an editor.

Da spricht Peter Mohr auf #literaturkritik ganz klar eine Warnung vor dem neuen Buch von #JohnIrving aus. Aber andererseits: Darf man Kritiker*innen immer vollends trauen?

"John Irving hat in diesem Roman jede Menge Erzählgestrüpp und noch mehr volkshochschulhafte Exkurse über […]

It's that time when people post their annual #favourites among the good stuff of life we've read, listened to or experienced. I read well this year, and these two tomes from @patrickryannyc.bsky.social and #JohnIrving connected with me. United by orphans, Ryan reminds me, a bit, of Irving. #Booksky

Einer der wenigen, der aktuell Haltung zeigt. Sicher ist das mittlerweile in den USA schwieriger geworden. In Kanada kann man zum Glück die Meinung frei äußern.

«Königin Esther»: John Irving ist zurück – zieht das Erfolgsrezept noch? In «Königin Esther» schildert der US-amerikanischen Starautor das Leben einer jüdischen Waise und ihres Sohnes.

»40 Jahre nach der Erstveröffentlichung von John Irvings Welterfolg ›Gottes Werk und Teufels Beitrag‹ kehren beliebte Figuren zurück. Der Generationenroman ›Königin Esther‹ ist typisch für Irving, kommt aber nicht an seine Vorgänger heran.«

In „Königin Esther“ setzt John Irving eher auf Essay als Emotion: viele Diskurse, wenig erzählerische Spannung. Ein anspruchsvolles, aber distanziertes Alterswerk.
