Лучшие книги Ронана Хешина

«Леонард и Голодный Пол» — это история двух друзей. На таких мало кто обращает внимание, ведь они совсем обыкновенные. Но автор видит в своих героях уникальные качества, и нам явно есть чему поучиться у них. Одинокие, неловкие и немного странные, они не интересуются интернетом, не посещают вечеринки, любят наблюдать за птицами, играют в настольные игры и обсуждают открытие планет. Это роман об обычных людях, живущих простой жизнью, лишенной драм: никаких кризисов, конфликтов, внутренних противоречий и нервных срывов. Забавная и мудрая, трогательная и чуть-чуть грустная, эта книга о доброте и о счастье, а такие нам всегда нужны

Ghost Mountain is a simple fable-like novel about a mountain that appears suddenly and the way in which its manifestation ripples through the lives of characters in the surrounding community.

It looks at the uncertain fragile sense of self we hold inside ourselves, and our human compulsion to project it into the uncertain word around us, whether we’re ready or not. It is also about the presence of absence, and how it shadows us in our lives. Mountains are at once unmistakably present yet never truly fathomable.
