Bøger af Alfred Hayes

In Love er en lille roman, som fortjener varig berømmelse. Den udkom i 1953, en periode med velturneret skønlitteratur, som allerede var ved at være forældet (men det tjener In Love på ingen måde selv som eksempel på). I New York indvarslede Norman Mailer en ny, rå stil. Ikke nok med, at Mailers ordvalg var meget bramfrit, så var forfatterstemmen også ualmindelig kraftig og bevidst egocentrisk. I samme ånd og nogenlunde samtidig gjorde Jackson Pollocks action painting kunstnerens fysiske energi til en bestanddel af billedet. Jackson gjorde op med den amerikanske storby-realismes centrale stilling, som den ses hos Edward Hopper, hvis ensomme mennesker i typisk amerikanske barer i en sen nattetime er beslægtede med de personer, som Alfred Hayes beskriver med en lignende forbeholden medfølelse.Stilfærdigt mesterlig ... fortættet mesterværk♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎ PolitikenMesterlig roman ... et stramt og bevægende dramaInformationIntens lille kærlighedsromanWeekendavisenGiver et fint billede af de op- og nedture, der kan være i et forholdLitteratursiden.dkEn drøm for enhver bognørdBogblogger.dk

Alfred Hayes (1911-1985) was born in London and grew up in New York, where he later worked as a newspaperman. After joining the army in 1943 he served with the US forces in Italy. While in Rome he met Roberto Rossellini and Federico Fellini on the film Pais¿and began his career in script-writing. He moved to Hollywood to work in the movies and was twice nominated for an Oscar for his scripts. Hayes' seven novels include The Girl on the Via Flaminia (1949), In Love (1953), My Face for the World to See (1958) and The End of Me (1968).

Lille mesterværk om Hollywoods glamour og fordærvAlfred Hayes er kendt som journalist, manuskriptforfatter og lyriker, men er en af det 20. århundredes mindre synlige mestre, når det gælder romangenren. Her skriver han med absolut gehør og stor begavelse om lidenskaben og dens smertefulde efterspil. My Face for the World to See udkom i 1958, da Hayes var 47 år.En af de første og helt klassiske beskrivelser af Hollywoodindustriens fordærv. Smukt og tragisk, og skrevet 60 år før #MeToo-bevægelsen. Et vidnesbyrd om, at Hollywood altid har været Hollywood.

New York in the 1950s. A man on a barstool is telling a story about a woman he met in a bar, early married and soon divorced, her child farmed out to her parents, good-looking, if a little past her prime. They'd gone out, they'd grown close, but as far as he was concerned it didn't add up to much. He was a busy man. Then one day, out dancing, she runs into a rich awkward lovelorn businessman. He'll pay for her to be his, pay her a lot. And now the narrator discovers that he is as much in love with her as she is with him, perhaps more, though it will take him a while to realize just how utterly lost he is. Executed with the cool smoky brilliance of a classic Miles Davis track, In Love is an unequaled exploration of the tethered-and untethered-heart.

Alfred Hayes er forfatter til et lille mesterværk af en romancyklus, der startede med Forelsket fortsatte med Mit ansigt ud mod verden og nu afsluttes med En færdig mand. De tre romaner reflekterer over, hvordan mennesker med magt misbruger den, og hvad mennesker uden, vil gøre for at opnå den. Og på den måde umuliggøres kærligheden og håbet om et lykkeligt liv. Hayes dissekerer i en iskold og lakonisk stil fejlslagen moderne kærlighed. Romanerne Forelsket og Mit ansigt ud mod verden er tidligere udkommet på dansk.Handlingen i En færdig mand finder sted i New York, hvor Hollywood-manuskriptforfatter Ashers karriere er kommet til et ydmygende endeligt. Ganske som hans seneste ægteskab. Tilbage i sin fødeby New York lejer han sig ind på et hotelværelse og tager sit liv op til revision. Midt i livet er det ikke et spørgsmål om penge, men snarere et spørgsmål om mening og formål. Måske også om stolthed."Hvilken fornøjelse det er at læse den!"★★★★★★ Jyllands-posten.dk"Pragtfuld læsning, som enhver bør unde sig selv"♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎ PolitikenPRESSEN SKREV OM "FORELSKET"Stilfærdigt mesterlig ... fortættet mesterværk"♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎ Politiken"Mesterlig roman ... et stramt og bevægende drama"Information"Intens lille kærlighedsroman"Weekendavisen"Giver et fint billede af de op- og nedture, der kan være i et forhold"Litteratursiden.dk"En drøm for enhver bognørd"Bogblogger.dkPRESSEN SKREV OM "MIT ANSIGT UD MOD VERDEN★★★★★★ Jyllands-posten.dk"En komprimeret, tæt fortælling, der føles som et velsiddende spark i mellemgulvet"♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎ Politiken"En mesterlig roman"Information"At læse Alfred Hayes’ roman er som at se en knaldgod film noir"Weekendavisen"Trods sine tres år i verden, er den lige så (hvis ikke mere) aktuel som da den udkom – præcis som en sand klassiker altid er det!"★★★★★★ Book me up, Scotty"Jeg er fuld af beundring"★★★★★★ Sidses Bogreol"Meget velskrevet ... litteratur af høj kvalitet"Bogtanker"Sådan en fin lille roman"Bogblogger.dk

A moving tale about middle age, divorce, modern love, and returning home by one of the great American storytellers.Asher's career as a Hollywood screenwriter has come to a humiliating end; so has his latest marriage. Returning to New York, where he grew up, he takes a room at a hotel and wonders what, well into middle age as he is, he should do next. It's not a question of money; it's a question of purpose, maybe of pride. In the company of the arch young poet Michael, Asher revisits the streets and tenements of the Lower East Side where he spent his childhood, though little remains of the past. Michael introduces Asher to Aurora, perhaps his girlfriend, who, to Asher's surprise, seems bent on pursuing him, too. Soon the older man and his edgy young companions are caught up in a slow, strange, almost ritualized dance of deceit and desire. The End of Me, a successor to Hayes's In Love and My Face for the World to See, can be seen as the final panel of a triptych in which Alfred Hayes anatomizes, with a cool precision and laconic lyricism that are all his own, the failure of modern love. The last scene is the starkest of all.

Tragedy Alfred Hayes, adapted from his best seller Characters: 7 male, 4 female Complete interior set Here is a merciless picture of hardened American conquerors abroad and their impact on pitifully defenseless people. A young American soldier takes on a pretty, fearful Italian girl to while away the tedious occupation. She consents with deep bitterness and restraint; the only jobs and bread are in the American kitchens. The country's pride is fiercely moral and the
