Beschreibung

RARE signed and dated first printing of this exceptional short story collection. A writer well known as a wine expert reveals a startling fictional voice. Superb and vigorous, these sharply observed tales are by turns droll, amusing - and always exciting and wittily enjoyable. The author has signed his full name on the title page, and has dated it in April 2010 when the collection was launched. If there was justice in the world of the short story this would be a prizewinner. Language: eng Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng.

Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Set against a backdrop of wine appreciation, and with one or other fruity little number at the heart of each story, "Chateau Lafite" - is a tempting menu of tales that explore human emotion and motivation, from the murderous to the arrogant, from blistering sexual desire to cold jealousy and blithe dishonesty. With their dark humour, raw perceptiveness and clever wordplay, these stories take the often self-important world of the wine connoisseur and use it as a colourful setting for broader human concerns. They also reveal the occasional murky depths of the world of wine writing, TV wine celebrity and wine language itself.
