I Am Radar Zusammenfassung

I Am Radar Reif Larsen

A kaleidoscopic, epic novel about a lovestruck radio operator who discovers a secret society...In 1975, a black child is mysteriously born to white parents. His name is Radar Radmanovic. Falling in with a secretive group of puppeteers and scientists who stage performances in war zones around the world, he is soon forced to confront the true nature of his identity. Though Radar is raised in suburban New Jersey, his story rapidly becomes entangled with events stretching from Belgrade in a time of siege to arctic Norway, from Cambodia in the years before the murderous Khmer Rouge regime to the modern-day Congo. It explores the furthest reaches of quantum physics, forgotten history and human experience. It's also about one man, one family and how far you may need to travel to know yourself. I Am Radar is greater than all of its remarkable parts, a breathtaking, highly addictive joyride that finally arrives at a place of wonder.

I Am Radar Bewertungen

"Inventive and surreal" Financial Times "I Am Radar is as easy to enjoy for its swaggering tragicomic spirit as it is to admire for its celestial ambition" New York Times Book Review "Big, beautiful, ambitious... His prose is addictive and enchanting" Los Angeles Times "Larsen has wit, intelligence, empathy and imagination. What he turns his clear gifts to next promises to be fascinating" -- Stuart Kelly Scotland on Sunday "Chameleonic, ambitious, epic, fantastical, whimsical, thought-provoking, arcane, philosophical, exhaustive, and completely bonkers - these are just some of the words that could be used to describe I Am Radar... Unquestionably one of the more adventurous entries into the literary landscape" Boston Globe
