Acerca de esta escucha

 Sisters is a contemporary reworking of Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard. Its author, John Fraser, has been hailed as ‘the most original novelist of our time’ by the distinguished poet and Whitbread Award winner, John Fuller. It can be read as a kind of vega. Masha, a young woman with a rich Middle Eastern culture, is forced by war to leave her country, her sisters, and even change her name. Abandoning her training as a surgeon, she becomes involved in superconductors and intrigued by the philosophical aspects of her work – energy, time and distance – she seeks new 'sisters' and tries to assert herself in the unfamiliar cultures and human projects she encounters. Masha is taken up by Irene, who is occupied in a big house with a laboratory equipped for research in space travel. In an echo of the Chekhovian theme which runs through the plot, the train which promises escape in the Cherry Orchard finds an ironic resonance in the expedient of space travel and re-location. John Fraser is a novelist and poet. He has lived in Rome since 1980. Previously, he worked in England and Canada.

The distinguished poet, novelist, Whitbread Award winner and Booker Prize nominee John Fuller has written of Fraser’s fiction: “One of the most extraordinary publishing events of the past few years has been the rapid, indeed insistent, appearance of the novels of John Fraser. There are few parallels in literary history to this almost simultaneous and largely belated appearance of a mature œuvre, sprung like Athena from Zeus’s forehead; and the novels in themselves are extraordinary. I can think of nothing much like them in fiction. Fraser maintains a masterfully ironic distance from the extreme conditions in which his characters find themselves. There are strikingly beautiful descriptions, veiled allusions to rooted traditions, unlikely events half-glimpsed, abrupted narratives, surreal but somehow apposite social customs. Fraser’s work is conceived on a heroic scale in terms both of its ideas and its situational metaphors. If he were to be filmed, it would need the combined talents of a Bunuel, a Gilliam, a Cameron. Like Thomas Pynchon, whom in some ways he resembles, Fraser is a deep and serious fantasist, wildly inventive. The reader rides as on a switchback or luge of impetuous attention, with effects flashing by at virtuoso speeds. The characters seem to be unwitting agents of chaos, however much wise reflection the author bestows upon them. They move with shrugging self-assurance through circumstances as richly-detailed and as without reliable compass-points as a Chinese scroll.” Of Fraser’s Animal Tales, Fuller wrote: “It convinces me that he is the most original novelist of our time. His work has become an internal dialogue of intuitions and counter-intuitions that just happens to take the form of conversations between his inscrutable characters. But really it is a rich texture of poetic perceptions, frequently reaching for the aphoristic, but rooted in sidelong debate and weird analogies.” The full text of John Fuller’s article on Fraser is at www.johnfuller-poet.com/johnfraser.htm.
