In the quiet suburbs, while Dorothy is doing chores and waiting for her husband to come home from work, not in the least anticipating romance, she hears a strange radio announcement about a monster who has just escaped from the Institute for Oceanographic Research... Reviewers have compared Rachel Ingalls's Mrs. Caliban to King Kong, Edgar Allan Poe's stories, the films of David Lynch, Beauty and the Beast, The Wizard of Oz, E.T., Richard Yates's domestic realism, B-horror movies, and the fairy tales of Angela Carter--how such a short novel could contain all of these disparate elements is a testament to its startling and singular charm.

Dona i monstre

No rating

Monstre arriba a casa d'una dona fugint, dona coneix monstre, dona se n'adona que la seva vida és molt diferent i feliç amb el monstre.

Amb una dosi de realisme màgic molt realista, Ingalls aprofita aquesta novel·leta curta per parlar-nos de les relacions amoroses, les amistats, els matrimonis i les diferències inherents a l'ésser humà.

El final m'ha sobrat una mica, però.
