Truth Like the Sun Zusammenfassung

Truth Like the Sun Jim Lynch

It is 1962, and the city of Seattle is about to be famous. Roger Morgan, an audacious young promoter, wants to pull off the ultimate coup de theatre: the World's Fair. Roger dazzles everyone he meets, and is still a backstage power forty years later when, at the age of seventy, he makes a bid for mayor. Journalist Helen Gulanos is new in town and keen to make her mark, she resolves to uncover the real Roger from behind the glossy receptions - because even Seattle's golden boy must have something to hide. Woven into in this city of dreams is a cat-and-mouse-tale of back-room deals, idealism and pragmatism, the best and worst ambitions, and the aspirations that shape our communities and our lives. Truth Like the Sun is hard-nosed yet profoundly humane.

Truth Like the Sun Bewertungen

The parry and thrust between journalist and subject is expertly handled. The obvious cultural touch point for Lynch's novel is Citizen Kane, and as Helen searches for her Rosebud revelation, readers are confronted with the American obsession with ambition in all its tarnished glory -- Christian House * Independent on Sunday *
Jim Lynch's novel is a brilliantly disturbing dissection of political morality, where right and wrong are, like Seattle itself, blurred in a grey mist -- John Harding * Daily Mail *
The book alternates between eras with ease as its protagonists square off. The result crackles with energy * The Age *
Elvis makes a magnificently written cameo appearance in this novel, along with other American giants of his time including Ed Sullivan and John Fitzgerald Kennedy ... The scenes involving these two brilliant, determined characters as they lock horns over the truth of the past make breathtaking reading, and would make a great movie * Sydney Morning Herald, Pick of the Week *
Lynch observes like a journalist and writes like a poet * Seattle Times *
Enveloping and propulsive ... There is much marvelling to be done as Truth Like the Sun unfolds * New York Times *
Effortlessly readable but never predictable * Metro *
