Description
A moody and beautiful reflection on relationships, and how our idea of the world too often fails to match reality, All My Friends delivers five stories that probe the boundaries between individuals to mediate on how well we really know anybody, including ourselves. Written in hypnotic prose with characters both fully fleshed and unfathomable, All My Friends opens with the fraught love story of a man who has fallen for his housekeeper, his student of many years ago. Losing his grip as he feels his own family turning against him, he plots romance between the housekeeper and an old friend, whom he thinks is perfect for her. Later NDiaye gives us the harsh tale of a young boy longing to escape his life of poverty by becoming a sex slavejust like the beautiful young man that lived next door. And when a woman takes her mentally challenged son on a bus ride to the city, they both know that shell return, but he wont. Chilling, provocative, and touching, this is an unflinching look at the personal horrors we fight every day to suppressbut in All My Friends theyre allowed to roam free.
