Paperback. David Cohen, Transit Lounge Publishing. From the winner of the Russell Prize for Humour Writing. David Cohen's most wryly humorous and disturbing work of fiction yet. A public memorial's name is changed to avoid any mention of the tragedy it has been set up to commemorate. Two attention-seeking activists campaign against exclusionary policies adopted by the gift shop at a suburban shopping mall. A customer service representative becomes obsessed with a colleague who has worked from home for so long, nobody in the company remembers her. A middle-aged father loses his marriage and falls in love again with a cherished but damaged childhood toy. An academic's research into roadside memorials takes a peculiar turn. David Cohen's sometimes bizarre yet pitch-perfect stories capture everyday horrors but are always shot through with a profound empathy and generosity. The Terrible Event delivers not just one terrible event, but many events of varying degrees of terrible-ness. Death, destruction, disappearance, decline, defeat it has something for everyone. 'Wildly inventive. Deeply unsettling. Delightfully strange. The Terrible Event is Cohen's best, most hilarious book yet. I absolutely loved it.' Bram Presser, The Book of Dirt 'These are not the stand-up comedian's one-liners; they have an awareness of the absurd, the surreal, the comic, in everyday life; the true comic's unsettling serious gaze at the strange ways we make sense of existence.' Judges, Russell Prize for Humour Writing. Paperback. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780645565331-SECONDHAND
