Produktbeschreibung

This is actually my second book. I feel this is my best collection of work. Although this is a book of poems, I consider my book to tell a story about love. I truly believe there is a poem for everyone. I hope after reading this book, you will want to read it again and tell a friend.

I really didn't expect to love this as much as I did. The Reactor is, in the most general sense, a memoir that tries to approach grief by relating it to radioactive decay (and particularly the Chernobyl disaster). Studies on grief seem to be a thing right now, and I have to say I tend to be somewhat sceptical about the kind of symbolic generalization that can come with it. However, Blackburn isn't too keen on that either - basically, this book is a perpetual reflection of his inability to actually make sense of anything, least of all the death of his father. This deliberate no-sense-making feels raw, unfinished, like a sketch. In essayistic(ish) fragments, the reader follows Blackburn along an unruly path where the next step is often less determined by cohesive structure than it is by associative references. He never loses his thread, though: this strange kaleidoscopic genre-mix will pull you in like a maelstrom.
This is the most fantastic coloring book I know, and I mean that in both definitions of the word:
1.: extraordinarily good/ attractive.
2.: imaginative/ fanciful; remote from reality.
It usually takes me weeks to complete even one page, but then it makes a wonderful present; especially when appropriately framed!

Autor/in

Michael Evans began his career in journalism working for a local East London newspaper before making it to Fleet Street in 1970. He worked for the Daily Express for sixteen years, first as a general reporter, then as the home affairs correspondent and, finally, as the defence and diplomatic correspondent. Michael was headhunted by The Times in 1986 where he was appointed Whitehall correspondent before being promoted to defence correspondent, then defence editor - a post he held for twelve years. He was The Times' Pentagon correspondent in Washington from 2010 to 2013, and today he continues to write on defence and intelligence issues for the newspaper. The author of six books, Michael is married, has three sons and lives in London.
