It takes a particular kind of man to want an embroidered polo player astride his left nipple. Occasionally, when I am tired and emotional, or consumed with self-dislike, I try to imagine myself as someone else, a wearer of Yarmouth shirts and fleecy sweats, of windbreakers and rugged Tyler shorts, of baseball caps with polo players where the section of the brain that concerns itself with aesthetics is supposed to be. But the hour passes. Good men return from fighting Satan in the wilderness the stronger for their struggle, and so do I. The winner of the 2010 Man Booker Prize, Howard Jacobson, brims with life in this collection of his most acclaimed journalism. From the unusual disposal of his father-in-law's ashes and the cultural wasteland of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to the melancholy sensuality of Leonard Cohen and desolation of Wagner's tragedies, Jacobson writes with all the thunder and joy of a man possessed. Absurdity piles upon absurdity, and glorious sentences weave together to create a hilarious, heartbreaking and uniquely human collection. This book is not just a series of parts, but an irresistible, unputdownable sum which triumphantly out-Thurbers Thurber.

Product Description: Una noche, en el centro de Londres, tres amigos se reunen para cenar. Dos de ellos acaban de enviudar y el tercero no tiene vida amorosa, sino desastres amorosos uno tras otro. La charla que les lleva a filosofar, emborracharse y,finalmente, desvariar, acabara lanzando a la luz una pregunta clave: Es mejor no conocer la felicidad para no tener que sufrir cuando se pierde? El hecho de que uno de ellos Sam Finkler, sea judio, da pie a Howard Jacobson para que desde el cinismo, el sentido del humor y una fina observacion de la realidad que le rodea, crear un fresco sobre la vida y la decepcion que le ha valido el reconocimiento como uno de los grandes escritores britanicos de su epoca, comparado al norteamericano Philip Roth...read more
