Críticas
Part fable, part satire, part allegory and part farce, this is a brave and clever debut (OBSERVER)
Unnervingly funny...as events shudder to their inevitably weird conclusion, the assured prose only gains in energy, originality and conviction (MAIL ON SUNDAY)
Fast and furious and refreshingly good-humoured...not bad for a week's work (Q)
Gooch's prose is assured and stylish, capable of great humour and canny insight into the eccentricities of the modern world, and he handles the narrative so well that one moment the reader has sympathy for the luckless Grundy and the next finds him an ig (BIG ISSUE)
Reseña del editor
Solomon Grundy born on Monday, christened on Tuesday, married on Wednesday...There is something very wrong with Sue Grundy's baby. Within hours of his birth, he is walking, talking and asking 'Why?'. Before he is a day old he is six foot tall, with hairy armpits and no sense of personal hygiene. As his body spirals out of control, his brain struggles vainly to keep up. Already he knows the value of everything, and the price of none of it. Teachers and social workers, psychiatrists and priests: none are any use to him. Only his nurse knows what he really needs...
Dan Gooch's unique first novel depicts an adult generation that refuses to grow up, and a child who cannot stop. Kicking off in third gear, accelerating ruthlessly towards Solomon's moment of (partial) truth, it leaves a bewildered cast of tragi-comic characters in its wake.
