Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Discover this 'sparkling celebration of sexual intrigue' (Telegraph) from the Booker Prize-winning author of The Line of Beauty.The Spell is a comedy of sexual manners that follows the interlocking affairs of four men: Robin, an architect in his late forties, who is trying to build an idyllic life in Dorset with his younger lover, Justin; Robin's 22 year old son Danny, a volatile beauty who lives for clubbing and casual sex; and the shy Alex, who is Justin's ex-boyfriend. As each in turn falls under the spell of romance or drugs, country living or rough trade, a richly ironic picture emerges of the clashing imperatives of modern gay life. At once lyrical, sceptical and romantic, The Spell confirms Alan Hollinghurst as one of Britain's most important novelists. 272 pp. Deutsch.

Buch
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Writer, Samson Young, is staring death in the face, and not only his own. Void of ideas and on the verge of terminal decline, Samson's dash to a decaying, degenerate London has brought him through the doors of the Black Cross pub and into a murder story just waiting to be narrated. At its centre is the mesmeric, doomed Nicola Six, destined to be murdered on her 35th birthday. Around her: the disreputable men who might yet turn out to be her killer. All Samson has to do is to write Nicola's story as it happens, and savour in this one last gift that life has granted him. 'A true story, a murder story, a love story and a thriller bursting with humour, sex and often dazzling language' Independent 544 pp. Deutsch.

Buch
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Martin Amis' Kurzgeschichten können mit seinen Romanen leicht mithalten. Was ihre satirische Kraft angeht, sind sie ihnen sogar überlegen. Ganze Welten werden in diesen Geschichten geschaffen - oder auf den Kopf gestellt.In 'Heteroszene' sind fast alle Personen schwul; Homosexualität ist die soziale Norm, und die Heterosexuellen befürchten, entdeckt zu werden. 'So macht man das' verkehrt die Literaturwelt: Während Lyriker erster Klasse nach L.A. eingeflogen werden, um Medienbosse die Hollywood-gerechte Vermarktung ihres Sonetts betreiben zu sehen, schlagen sich Drehbuchschreiber mit Werken wie 'Killerattacke von Quasar 13' und 'Dezimator' mit Herausgebern obskurer Ein-Mann-Zeitschriften herum, um ihre Werke wenigstens dort gedruckt zu finden. 'In Lage der Nation' hat ein Disco-Rausschmeißer kaum eine Chance, seinem Sprößling in der feinen englischen Jungenschule zu imponieren. Er bleibt ein Prolo und Versager gegenüber den anderen arrivierten Vätern aus Pakistan und Hinterindien, auch wenn er ein Handy an sein blaugeschlagenes Ohr hält. Die beißende Schärfe von Amis' Ironie, seine Lust an der gezielten Gemeinheit und sein unübertroffenes Gespür für den O-Ton von Underdogs machen die Lektüre auch dieser Erzählungen zu einer schrill-komischen Lektion in Sachen Wirklichkeit. 240 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY A. N. WILSONThroughout these seventy-nine stories - love stories, ghost stories, stories of childhood, of English middle-class life in the twenties and thirties, of London during the Blitz - Elizabeth Bowen combines social comedy and reportage, perception and vision in an oeuvre which reveals, as Angus Wilson affirms in his introduction, that 'the instinctive artist is there at the very heart of her work'.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - NOW A SELL-OUT PLAY: OUR LADIES OF PERPETUAL SUCCOURThe choir from Our Lady of Perpetual Succour School for Girls is being bussed to the national finals in the big, big city. And it's an important day for The Sopranos - Orla, Kylah, (Ra)Chell, Amanda Konky and Fionnula (the Cooler) - pub-crawling, shoplifting and body-piercing being the top priorities. Then it's time to lose that competition - lose, because a nuclear sub has just anchored in the bay and, tonight, the Man Trap disco will be full of submariners on shore-leave. There is no time for delays. . . But after the fifth bottle of alco-pop up the back of the bus it's clear that all is not going to plan, for anyone. The Sopranos are never going to be the same.'Compassionate and riotously funny. It is a long time since I read a novel which had me rocking with laughter' -The Times.
