'One wild ride: a swirling helix of a family saga...a new writer as toe-curling as early Roth, as roomy as Franzen and as caustic as Houellebecq. Don't let me forget to mention Jonathan Reeder's note-perfect English translation.' Anthony Cummins, Sunday Telegraph, 5-stars
'Dutch bestseller about internet porn lives up to hype....a considerable achievement for a seasoned writer, much less a newcomer...' James Kidd, Independent
'Fluent and complex, uncompromising and occasionally shocking...' Daily Mail
'Buwalda writes with ferocious dexterity... Bonita Avenue is a family epic seething with learning and regret, the kind with which commuting becomes a pleasure.' New Statesman
'A brilliantly constructed story, with complex characters tested to the limit' The Lady
'One of the first great European novels of the 21st century' Foyles Bookshop interview with author
Highly, highly recommended reading.

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Professor Siem Sigerius-maths genius, jazz lover, judo champion, Renaissance man. When Aaron meets his girlfriend Joni's family for the first time, her multi-talented father could hardly be a more intimidating figure, but somehow the under-achieving photographer manages to bluff his way to a friendship with the paterfamilias. With his feet under the table at the beautiful Sigerius farmhouse, Aaron feels part of a perfect family. Until, that is, things start to fall apart. A cataclysmic explosion in a fireworks factory, the advent of Internet pornography, the reappearance of a discarded, dangerous son, and a jet-black wig-all play a role in the spectacular fragmentation of the Sigerius clan. and of Aaron's fragile psyche. A darkly hilarious tale of a model family's disintegration. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9781782270713
