Articoli correlati a The Last Girlfriend on Earth
Love is really, really difficult. And it's even harder if you're the last woman on earth. The sketches in Simon Rich's new book are bizarre, funny, and even familiar. Exploring love's many complications and mortifications - losing it, finding it, breaking it, and making it - Rich turns the ordinary into the absurd. From the invisible man's compulsion to stalk his ex, Sherlock Holmes' only blind spot and how Darwin really formed his theory of evolution, The Last Girlfriend on Earth takes readers for an exhilarating, hilarious ride on the rollercoaster of love. Praise for What In God's Name: 'Like Douglas Adams in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Rich drags heaven down to Earth ... owes much to The Simpsons and to Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's Good Omens' New York Times 'Hilarious and touching ... obviously Rich is crazy good at hysterical sharp dialogue ... What In God's Name reads like a screenplay for a film that might sit comfortably beside Woody Allen's early absurd works in a Netflix queue ... a clever, endearing novel' Entertainment Weekly 'Divinely funny' Vanity Fair

Recensione:
'Laugh-out-loud funny. This collection will have you giggling / crying / squirming in recognition, and wondering what exactly Simon Rich has eaten to dream all this stuff up ... This collection pulls off the tough trick of being both heart-warming and hilarious it's a must-read if you ve ever so much as had a crush on someone' Heat
'Pithy, occasionally bonkers ... expect any weeping to be of the laughter-induced variety'Time Out
'A James Thurber for our times, in Borges' suit wearing Flann O'Brien s hat' BBC R3 The Verb
'It's brilliant: a kind of modern version of Woody Allen's Without Feathers for anyone who's been in love ... topsy-turvy imaginative, riotously funny, hugely insightful ... Rich has a wisdom about male-female interaction that most have to wait far, far longer than 28 years to gain.' 'There are many episodes to enjoy ... The scenarios are satisfyingly wide-ranging ... an irreverent pleasure.' Literary Review
'If you buy only one quirky, surreal collection of comedy short stories about relationships this year, make it Simon Rich's The Last Girlfriend on Earth ... an endlessly inventive, laugh-out-loud book ... telling and very humorous insights into the shortcomings and sensitivities of the male psyche ... this is a one-night stand you will definitely want to tell your friends about.' --Jewish Chronicle
