A Changed Man
あらすじ・解説
"Francine Prose has a knack for getting to the heart of human nature.... We are allowed to enter the moral dilemmas of fascinating characters whose emotional lives are strung out by the same human frailties, secrets and insecurities we all share." (USA Today)
One spring afternoon, Vincent Nolan, a young neo-Nazi walks into the office of a human rights foundation headed by Meyer Maslow, a charismatic Holocaust survivor. Vincent announces that he wants to make a radical change. But what is Maslow to make of this rough-looking stranger with Waffen SS tattoos who says that his mission is to save guys like him from becoming guys like him?
As Vincent gradually turns into the sort of person who might actually be able to do that, he also begins to transform everyone around him, including Maslow himself. Masterfully plotted, darkly comic, A Changed Man poses essential questions about human nature, morality, and the capacity for change, illuminating the everyday transactions, both political and personal, in our lives.
批評家のレビュー
"Prose tears into this unusual premise with the piercing wit that has become her trademark....Her lively skewering of a whole cross-section of society ensures that this tale hits comic high notes even as it probes serious issues." (Publishers Weekly)
"Riotously funny....Like novelist Richard Russo, Prose uses humor to light up key social issues, to skewer smugness, and to create characters whose flaws only add to their depth and richness. This may well be Prose's best novel to date." (Booklist)
Audible制作部より
The gritty and robust voice of veteran performer Eric Conger is the perfect mate for the subject matter in Francine Prose's A Changed Man. With a confident energy, Conger brings to life the story of Vincent Nolan and his valiant attempt at personal reformation. Francine Prose is at the top of her game here as she finds sympathy for Nolan, a young neo-Nazi, and has orchestrated a beautifully plotted story where one man's desire for change can have a dramatic effect on those around him. A Changed Man is an unusual look at some of our most essential struggles, and this production only enhances its importance.
