Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 1st Edition. First Edition: June 2002, 1st printing. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in NEW condition. "Three stories in one volume from one of Britain's most admired authors and playwrights. 'The Laying On of Hands' is Bennett at his inimitable best in this funny and mischievous satire about a society memorial service for a rather special masseur, who has died at a tragically young age in Peru. In 'Father! Father! Burning Bright' Bennett writes with tragicomic insight about a son's vigil at his father's deathbed, where their lifelong battle continues to the end. In 'Miss Fozzard Finds Her Feet' a podiatrist shows a lonely, unmarried department store clerk that there's more to life than looking after her brother. Part of the critically acclaimed Talking Heads series, 'Miss Fozzard' was described in the New York Times as both 'touching' and 'hilarious.'" [jacket copy] "Few write sharper dialogue or probe more tellingly into the frailties and occasional strengths of the human psyche than Alan Bennett. No one knows more about getting each scene just right or as consistently witty."--William Trevor. Pristine & handy hardcover w/brilliant corners & deckle edges, a square binding & a bright, intact jacket. Quite presentable/giftable. Codice articolo RUB1685
