Zustand: Wie neu. 1. Aufl. 275 S. Gebraucht, aber gut erhalten. - Eine Privatschule im Norden Manhattans. Ein enges Geflecht von Beziehungen verbindet einige der Schüler und Lehrer. Alle sind sie auf der Suche nach Liebe, nach Glück und Erfolg, ersehnen die Veränderung und sind doch gefangen in familiären Bindungen und festen Vorstellungen vom Leben und von der Welt. Kunstvoll verknüpft Benjamin Markovits unterschiedliche Lebensgeschichten und Schicksale zum Porträt einer Gruppe von Menschen im heutigen New York. Da ist Amy, eine junge Biologielehrerin aus dem ländlichen Indiana, die der Einsamkeit in New York durch die Flucht an die Seite eines weltgewandten Juristen zu entrinnen versucht. Bei einem gemeinsamen Thanksgivingfest prallen Welten aufeinander. - Da ist ein älterer homosexueller Lehrer, der sich plötzlich der Existenz einer eigenen Tochter gegenübersieht. - Stuart, ein anderer Lehrer, träumt vom Ausbruch aus langjähriger Ehe - wie er einem seiner Kollegen scheinbar gelungen ist -mit einer seiner Schülerinnen. Diese, konfrontiert mit dem bevorstehenden Tod des geliebten Vaters, scheint sich zunächst auf seine Avancen einzulassen . Mit genauen Beobachtungen, psychologischem Scharfsinn und feinem Gespür für die Untertöne in der menschlichen Kommunikation nähert sich Markovits seinen Figuren. Aus wechselnder Perspektive erscheint dieselbe Person in ganz unterschiedlichem Licht; die Liebe bringt Selbstbilder ins Wanken und läßt Lebensläufe außer Kontrolle geraten - bis sich Lösungen anbahnen, mit denen die Figuren des Romans selbst am allerwenigsten gerechnet haben.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Fresh out of college and uncertain how to proceed with life, the narrator of Ben Markovits' Playing Days finds himself drifting towards a career that once obsessed his father - professional basketball. Gaining a place on a minor league German team, he leaves Texas and lands in the small rather desolate town of Landshut, playing basketball with an eclectic group of teammates, training for most of the day and then trying to find ways to fill the rest of it. It's an odd, isolated existence, punctuated by the intense excitement - and often intense disappointment - of the game. But then he meets Anke, a young single mother who happens to be the former wife of one of his teammates; and their tentative, burgeoning relationship becomes as significant and as life changing as the game itself. Beautifully written, Playing Days is entirely recognisable in its depiction of the first long summer after university. Tinged with the melancholy and nostalgia of early steps into adulthood, it's the story of a young man's first experience of adult love, and of the discovery of his own limitations.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. From one of Granta's Best of Young British Novelists comes a darkly comic and brutally insightful vision of contemporary America in the wake of the global financial crisis. Ten years out of Yale, with an extra degree from Oxford, and all Greg Marnier has to show for it is a rambling academic career that has landed him in Aberystwyth. At his college reunion, jetlagged and drunk, he runs into an old friend who offers him an extraordinary way out. Robert James, wealthy and influential, a success story of the dotcom bubble, wants to become a political player. His plan: to buy up several abandoned neighbourhoods in Detroit - the poster child for urban decline - and build a new America from their boarded-up ruins. For a small investment, Marnier can transform himself into a twenty-first-century pioneer. The realities of life on America's urban frontier soon become apparent. For every hopeful misfit who's come for a fresh start there's a native Detroiter whose patch is being swallowed up by the new colonials. Marnier finds himself caught in the middle of everyone else's battles - between local and outsider, rich and poor, black and white - until a terrible accident forces him to take sides. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. ONE OF THIS WEEK'S BEST NOVELS OF 2022 The perfect novel for fans of The Last Dance, Hoop Dreams and Winning Time 'Warm, humane, and tragic . Somewhere in a golden triangle between Frederick Exley's A Fan's Notes, Richard Ford's The Sportswriter, and David Shields' Black Planet.' JONATHAN LETHEM What seperates greatness from ordinary life? At his high school basketball try-outs, nerdy sports-obsessed Brian Blum meets new kid Marcus Hayes. What neither of them knows when they line up at the end of practice to shoot free throws is that Marcus will soon be living with the Blums, following his parents' messy break-up, and that he will go on to become an NBA star, the next Michael Jordan. As sportswriter Brian spends the following twenty years tracking his friends' career, he remains Marcus' only link to his pre-fame life. And, as Marcus mounts his comeback after a couple of years out of the game, both men must face the tensions and disappointments of getting older. The Sidekick is the story of a friendship, of two lives bound together but fundamentally different, and of what it's like to live your life in the shadow of greatness. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
