Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Shameless, deviant, depraved, the characters in Rod Liddle's story collection are just like us--only much, much worse.Dumped by his mistress, Dempsey weeps on his wife's shoulder, wondering how best to kill himself so that at least seven people will try to stop him. Eddie miserably sneaks off to sleep with his wife's mother--a rather unpleasant situation from which he can't seem to extricate himself. And Christian, despite a terrible train accident and medical disaster, must just make it to Uttoxeter before he is caught in a horrible lie. Disturbingly funny, psychologically astute, and sharp as a knife, this collection of stories reveals the dark heart of human compulsion. The stories in "Too Beautiful for You" sweep readers into the lives of characters whose sexual frustrations and deviant desires lead them to the very edge of acceptable behavior--and sometimes way beyond.
