Naked Singularity edition by Victoria N Alexander Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Naked Singularity is brilliant, a true classic, and a work of art. The most interesting aspect is the protagonist's complete blindness to her subconscious drive, revenge on the male figure and the whole family, as well as her super intellectual façade which barely veils an absolute weakness and desperate need to be liked and loved.
This is a heartbreaking story of a daughter's love for her father. The drama moves between reflection on the past and fear of what may come, while the present marches inexorably on. The characters are real with a mix of bad and good. Leaves a question, "what would I have done?"
It's a strange fact of life that some of the most difficult and painful situations can also make us laugh, mostly at the absurdity of our struggle against the inevitable. Naked Singularity dares to look at the hapless way we try to control events in our lives. There is some great writing here.
with the previous reviewer. This book is indeed a modern classic. I would put it beside works of John Fante and Charles Bukowski within the category of "confessional fiction." It is ironic, or something, that the other Victoria Alexander, who churns out romances with hokey covers and titles like "The Perfect Wife," rakes in the fans, and cash, while this great modern writer, who still has not peaked, wallows (or maybe frolics) in literary obscurity.
What gives life its meaning? This is the question that Victoria Alexander takes on in this gripping and sad story about a man (Dave MacDonald) who asks his daughter (Hali) to help him end his life gracefully after he finds out that his throat cancer is terminal. Alexander looks at the idea that life’s ending somehow changes and rewrites everything that went before, as if the life were a novel, whose author is shaping events. Dave MacDonald’s final days do not go the way he planned, and Alexander admonishes those who would try to control things that are beyond control.
I loved the writing and the story. In the end things take on their own momentum no matter what your initial intentions are.
