It was honestly the weirdest thing i have ever read... well done David Thewlis! ( ) Love David Thewliss, but could not warm to the book. The blurb says "warm and witty" but "bleak and relentless" would be closer. I like a bit of grim, but this one was too much. Everything goes wrong for the hero - mainly his fault - who comes off a bit like Frank Spencer with more blood and sex. Perhaps I picked it up at the wrong time? This story about a man's descent from mid-life crisis into insanity is well written, with lots of quirkly characters and some black humour. Hector Kipling is an artist whose life goes from normal to tragedy to bizarre over the course of a few weeks. His girlfriend returns to Greece to be with her critically injured mother, his father is in hospital, his mother appears to be having a mental breakdown, his best friend is nominated for an award based on a idea he stole from Hector, and he meets and begins an affair with a young poet with S&M tendencies. No wonder Hector's life falls apart. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Hector Kipling is a famous artist. But Hector is not as famous as his best friend, Lenny Snook. And as they are standing in the Tate Gallery one afternoon, Hector's life begins to unravel. As the events in his life threaten to drive him toward full-blown dementia, Hector finds himself in a bizarre and murderous pursuit of a man threatening to kill him in return, spiraling into a hysterically surreal Hitchcocklike thriller -- the story of how a man can become desperate enough to shoot his way out of a midlife crisis.
