Robert Stone

    21. August 1937 – 10. Januar 2015

    Robert Stone verfasste sieben Romane, die sich durch psychologische Komplexität, politische Anliegen und dunklen Humor auszeichneten. Er hegte eine besondere Vorliebe für Außenseiter, insbesondere für jene, die sich selbst in Schwierigkeiten brachten. Stone verstand es meisterhaft, aus den Torheiten seiner Charaktere Kunst zu machen, und erforschte Themen durch Figuren wie einen ehebrecherischen Lehrer, einen betrügerischen Seefahrer oder einen belagerten Journalisten. Seine Erzählungen erstreckten sich über vielfältige Schauplätze, vom amerikanischen Süden bis nach Fernost, und offenbarten ein einzigartiges Talent für die Darstellung menschlicher Schwächen.

      The definitive collection of nonfiction--from war reporting to literary criticism to the sharpest political writing--from the "legend of American letters" (Vanity Fair) Robert Stone was a singular American writer, a visionary whose award-winning novels--including Dog Soldiers, Outerbridge Reach, and Damascus Gate--earned him comparisons to literary lions ranging from Samuel Beckett to Ernest Hemingway to Graham Greene. Stone had an almost prophetic grasp of the spirit of his age, which he captured with crystalline clarity in each of his novels. Of course, he was also a sharp and brilliant observer of American life, and his nonfiction writing is revelatory. The Eye You See With--the first and only collection of Robert Stone's nonfiction--was carefully selected by award-winning novelist and Stone biographer Madison Smartt Bell. Divided into three sections, the collection includes the best of Stone's war reporting, his writing on social change, and his reflections on the art of fiction. This is an extraordinary volume that offers up a clear-eyed look at the twentieth century and secures Robert Stone's place as one of the most original figures in all of American letters.

      In Fun with Problems, Robert Stone demonstrates once again that he is “one of our greatest living writers” (Los Angeles Times). The stories in this new collection share the signature blend of longing, violence, and black humor with which Stone illuminates the dark corners of the human soul. Entire lives are laid bare with remarkable precision, in captivating prose: a screenwriter carries on a decades-long affair with a beautiful actress, whose descent into addiction he can neither turn from nor share; a bored husband picks up a mysterious woman only to find that his ego has led him woefully astray; a world-beating Silicon Valley executive receives an unwelcome guest at his mansion in the hills; a scuba dive guides uneasy newlyweds to a point of no return.Fun with Problems showcases Stone’s great gift: to pinpoint and make real the impulses—by turns violently coercive and quietly seductive—that cause us to conceal, reveal, and betray our truest selves.
