Very strong, convincing voice (better than Amis, with whose early work this book (particularly the earlier parts) must often be compared). Curiously inspiring. Get zet. ( ) If you love philosophy and have an appreciation for the absurd you will probably enjoy this book. Tibor Fischer has written a novel that I found dependable in producing humor evidenced by my smiles and more often than not outright laughter. The story demonstrates the sublime absurdity of a middle-aged philosopher who is running from his academic publisher and others; and while doing so finds himself in France about to join with a semi-successful thief (the thief has recently been released from prison) ultimately entering into a series of adventures. Coffin uses a first-person narration (numbered in sections, like a philosophical treatise) that is not terribly mellifluous, but becomes fun through the use of wisecracks about Epictetus and Zeno--as well as Coffin's unexplained fascination with words that begin with the letter Z. The style gets to you (at least it did for this reader). He juxtaposes intellectual metaphysics and juvenile gangster fantasy as evidenced by the line, ``The thing about a gun is, it's like being on the right side of a Socratic dialogue." The result of the philosophical and adventurous mish-mash is a delightfully wacky book that has echoes of Tristram Shandy and other books of that sort. Read it at your own philosophical risk. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Se une, pues, a Hubert, un tipo que por sus malas costumbres esta realmente a su altura, para formar una banda de atracadores y vivir aventuras canallescas. En esta empresa le sirven tanto las ideas y los textos del pensamiento universal como la metralleta ultimo modelo: B+B!Por el Zeitgeist de tu madre, entreganos la pasta!B;, y el cajero, estupefacto, les entrega el dinero; B+queria saltarle la tapa de los sesos, pero luego me puse a razonar y pense: que le habria ensenado la experiencia?B;, y naturalmente no lo hizo.
