Description

De keizer van Gladness - Ocean VuongOp een late zomeravond staat de negentienjarige Hai op de rand van een brug in het stadje East Gladness, klaar om te springen. Dan hoort hij iemand aan de overkant van de rivier roepen. De stem is van Grazina, een bejaarde weduwe die aan dementie lijdt, en die hem weet te overtuigen een ander pad te kiezen. Ontheemd en zonder opties wordt hij noodgedwongen haar mantelzorger. In de loop van een jaar ontwikkelt het onwaarschijnlijke duo een

Op een late zomeravond staat de negentienjarige Hai op de rand van een brug in het stadje East Gladness, klaar om te springen. Dan hoort hij iemand aan de overkant van de rivier roepen. De stem is van Grazina, een bejaarde weduwe die aan dementie lijdt, en die hem weet te overtuigen een ander pad te kiezen. Ontheemd en zonder opties wordt hij noodgedwongen haar mantelzorger. In de loop van een jaar ontwikkelt het onwaarschijnlijke duo een levensveranderende band, gebaseerd op empathie, spirituele bezinning en hartzeer, met de kracht om Hai's relatie tot zichzelf, zijn familie en een gemeenschap op de rand van de afgrond te veranderen. Langs de cycli van geschiedenis, herinnering en tijd, laat Ocean Vuong zien hoe liefde, arbeid en eenzaamheid de fundamenten vormen van het Amerikaanse leven. Centraal staat een gedurfde epische vertelling over wat het betekent om aan de rand van de samenleving te bestaan en de wonden onder ogen te zien die onze collectieve ziel blijven achtervolgen. Kenmerken van Vuong's schrijfstijl - het vermogen om rauwheid met elegantie te verweven door middel van tederheid - zijn volop aanwezig in dit verhaal over verlies, hoop en hoe ver we zouden gaan om een van de meest ongrijpbare zegeningen in het leven te krijgen: een tweede kans.

Quality shoe but with a slight squeak.
Size: 10 Wide, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
Nice shoes with the classic Penny Loafer design. Fit was better than another brand I tried. Only reason not 5 starts is disappointment due to a slight squeak at times when walking.

Exact item ordered, quick delivery
Size: 9.5, Color: Black Polished Full Grain
I ordered these black Cole Haan penny loafers for casual wear with jeans, khakies, and even business casual with slacks and a jacket. They've always worked perfectly for these uses. The Cole Haan version is the most versatile and still meets my sophisticated look criteria. I wear a 9 1/2 M with almost all other shoes. I have found Cole Haan to run slightly wider and slightly shorter. This fit will work with thin and no socks and a little loose in width. . I'd likely order a 10 N next time. I tend to forget this but it runs consistent with me for Cole Haan. 5 stars for the shoe and service. My bad on the slightly off fit.

Poor quality control - maybe outlet store leftovers
Size: 11.5, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
The two shoes were not the same size. They were both labeled 11 1/2 but one shoe was larger than the other and the fit was poor. I returned the first pair and ordered a replacement. This time the shoes were close to the same size but too loose and the left one has sewing issues. I've bought Johnston & Murphy for years because of the quality. These were to replace an existing pair of burgundy penny loafers that have finally worn out (even after several heal/sole replacements). That is the expected quality. I suspect Nashville Shoe Warehouse may be handling shoes that didn't measure up for the quality; more like an outlet mall than getting the J&M quality I've come to expect. Update: went to Johnston & Murphy site to buy "direct" from the manufacturer. There were several recent reviews where the shoes were long and didn't fit properly. Genesco - please step up the manufacture / crafting of these classic shoes to the level of quality they used to have.

Really nice shoes
Size: 9, Color: Black Polished Full Grain
My husband enjoys wearing these shoes. Very classy looking. They fit well. They arrived quickly. He liked them so much he ordered another pair in a different color which have worked out just as well.

Way too narrow
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
I ordered a wide in this shoe, but it was still way too narrow. I had to return them. Otherwise, it looked like a nice quality shoe.
