Girl in Landscape
Girl in Landscape: A Novel | Jonathan Lethem
5 posts | 11 read | 5 to read
One the irrepressibly inventive Jonathan Lethem could weld science fiction and the Western into a mesmerizing novel of exploration and otherness, sexual awakening and loss. At the age of 13 Pella Marsh loses her mother and her home on the scorched husk that is planet Earth. Her sorrowing family emigrates to the Planet of the Archbuilders, whose mysterious inhabitants have names like Lonely Dumptruck and Hiding Kneeland a civilization that and frightens their human visitors. On this new world, spikily independent Pella becomes as uneasy envoy between two species. And at the same time is unwilling drawn to a violent loner who embodies all the paranoid machismo of the frontier ethic. Combining the tragic grandeur of John Ford's The Searchers and the sexual tension of Lolita and transporting them to a planet light years, Girl in Landscape is a tour de force.

@Mynameisacolour WOW WOW WOW. This is so amazingly generous. Not only did you send me a beautiful quilled picture, but you sent me four crafts to do on my own! I feel spoiled. You definitely hit the nail on the head with the rock painting; my sons love making and hiding them. Seriously, thank you so much. It was a lovely pick me up after a rough week. ❤️

HeathHof Awesome!🤩 I'm glad you like it! 6y
HeathHof I was a little surprised at how difficult it was to choose crafts for another person! Have you ever done any cross stitch before? I hope the wooden thingie is the right size for your project. I honestly don't have the first clue about it but would like to give it a try myself. I'm sorry I forgot to send your card & adorable doggo btw! 6y

j.rye @Mynameisacolour I actually have done quite a few! So yet another good pick. AND those hobby lobby magnetic book marks are my FAVORITE. They‘re they only kind I use! You did amazing. 6y
LibrarianRyan @Mynameisacolour this is awesome. I love quilling. Never done it but I love the look. 6y
HeathHof @j.rye Good deal & yay!! I love those magnetic book markers too but I never buy them for myself because I loose them like crazy & thank you I'm really glad you're happy with everything! 😁 6y
HeathHof @LibrarianRyan Thank you! Some projects take foreverrrrrrr but I find it very therapeutic. I think it would be good for audio crafting. 6y

Snuck the first chapter in instead of going to bed on time. 🤷‍♂️

Seems interesting. It's a coming of age story about a young girl and her family that move to an off world colony.

Pickpick

"Allegorical science fiction" The story is a fable of young girl growing up realizing that all adults around you are failing. Seen through the eyes of 14 year old Pella Marsh. With aliens and invisible deer. I love this book.

14-year-old Pella Marsh's politician father loses an election, then she loses her mother, and then her family decides to leave the planet for a colony on a new one. That's a lot for any teen to process, not to mention the mysterious alien race called The Arch Builders, and a few other mysteries that Pella needs to work out about her new life. #lifeonmars #septembowie @Marchpane @Cinfhen

Cinfhen And I thought I was having a rough day 😉😂 7y
saresmoore Hahaha! Your blurb is fantastic! 7y
Billypar @Cinfhen Lol - I don't know, those 14-year-olds, you know how dramatic they can be about their issues 😋 7y
Billypar @saresmoore Thanks! Reviewing it for the blurb made me want to read it again, even though I remember having a so-so reaction the first time. 7y
