Music for torching

As A.M. Homes's incendiary novel unfolds, the Kodacolor hues of the good life become nearly hallucinogenic. Laying bare the foundations of a marriage, flash frozen in the anxious entropy of a suburban subdivision, Paul and Elaine spin the quiet terrors of family life into a fantastical frenzy that careens out of control. From a strange and hilarious encounter with a Stepford Wife neighbor to an ill-conceived plan for a tattoo, to a sexy cop who shows up at all the wrong moments, to a housecleaning team in space suits, a mistress calling on a cell phone, and a hostage situation at a school, A.M. Homes creates characters so outrageously flawed and deeply human that they are entriely believeable.

  • "Een Amerikaanse echtpaar met twee zoontjes, dat zich steeds ongelukkiger gaat voelen in hun uitgebluste huwelijk, steekt uit balorigheid hun huis in brand in de hoop zo hun problemen op te lossen."
  • "A novel on a middle-class suburb that produces a school shooting. The protagonists are bored parents, comfortably off and looking for kicks. They find them in violence, drugs, adultery, and in one case burning their house and parking the children with neighbors."
