Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. A big, sprawling book . . . [Kurt Andersen has] infused it with so much inventive imagination. . . . Should be put in a Manhattan time capsule with the note: This is how we lived at the turn of the century. The New York Times Book Review NATIONAL BESTSELLER In his brash, brilliant first novel, New York Times bestselling author Kurt Andersen casts a penetrating eye on our giddy, media-obsessed era. With a keen sense of irony and a storytellers grace, he weaves a tale that is at once a biting satire and a wickedly incisive portrait of marriage, family, love, and friendship. The millennium is here. BarbieWorld has opened in Las Vegas. Charles Mansons parole hearing is on live TV. And George and Lizzie are a Manhattan power couple with three kids in private school and take-out from Hiroshima Boy waiting at the door. Lizzie owns a software start-up. George is a TV producer. With cell phones tickling their thighs and gossip buzzing in their ears, their future couldnt be brighter. Until, that is, Lizzie cuts a deal with Georges boss and gets an office twenty-one floors above her husbands. Until all the glitter and the hype threaten to destroy Georges and Lizzies sanity and their marriage. Until the only thing that can save them is a little understandingat a time when everyone is talking but no one hears a thing. Savagely subversive . . . a smart, funny and excruciatingly deft portrait of our age.The Wall Street Journal Inspired . . . astonishing . . . very funny.Entertainment Weekly A big, Tom Wolfeish New York comic novel . . . on the last breath of the century.Elle Set in the year 2000, "Turn of the Century" is a panoramic, hyper-realistic, up-to-the-second comedy of manners that depicts marriage, family, friendship, and business as they are conducted in our giddy, anxious time, amplified by Andersen's explosive writing and dead-on wit.
