Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Retro Retro brings together some of the best new literary talent from Britain and the US, to pick and mix from the retro treasure chest. Marilyn Monroe goes browsing in a used bookstore in '50s New York. A Chinese fan of Hollywood musicals gets a Grace Kelly make over. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid ride again on a cold winter's night in the '70s. An exotic romance flourishes in a thrift store in '80s bohemian Baltimore. Looking at the present through a rear-view mirror, Retro Retro offers readers a ticket to a new kind of time travel, through haunted houses and museums of strange hair, featuring ethnic slumming and dodgy '70s rock bands. Who says you can never go back?
