69 Things to Do with a Dead Princess

Canongate, 2003. Paperback. Pp: 182. This is where the novel has a nervous breakdown. Anna Noon is a twenty-year-old student with a taste for perverse sex involving an enigmatic older man and a ventriloquist's dummy. Anna lives in Aberdeen, Scotland, and her sex life revolves around the ancient stone circles in the region. The sublime grandeur of the stones provides a backdrop against which Anna is able to act out her provocative psychodramas. This is a book about the body in which the carnal is a manifestation of consciousness: a book in which it is virtually impossible to distinguish the ancient from the postmodern. Drawing on literary and continental philosophy, as well as pulp appropriations, 69 Things suggests that schizophrenia may well be the only sane response to capitalism. ISBN: 9781841953816.

The Abominable

Sphere, 2014. Paperback. Pp: 728. June 1924. On the brutal North East Ridge of Mount Everest, famous adventurers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine vanish into the snow-whipped night. Daredevil explorer Richard Deacon devises a plan to follow in the men's footsteps, accompanied only by two friends. Off piste and with no support team, the three men strike for Everest's peak and the most vicious climate on earth. As the winds rise and the temperature and oxygen levels drop, Deacon and his companions hear howls in the distance. Some dark creature is tracking them up the mountain, sending them scrabbling blindly into Everest's dangerous heights to escape it. Soon they will discover what happened to Mallory's crew - but can they escape the same hideous fate? A gripping thriller by a master of the genre, The Abominable blends historical fact with spine-tingling drama - this is one of the most chilling and unforgettable novels you will ever read.

About a Boy

Penguin, 2000. Paperback. Pp: 278. Will is thirty six but acts like a teenager. Single, child-free and still feeling cool, he reads the right magazines, goes to the right clubs and knows which trainers to wear. He's also discovered a great way to score with women at single parents' groups, full of available (and grateful) mothers, all waiting for Mr Nice Guy. That's where he meets Marcus, the oldest twelve-year old in the world. Marcus is a bit strange : he listens to Joni Mitchell and Mozart, he looks after his mum and he's never even owned a pair of trainers. Perhaps if Will can teach Marcus how to be a kid, Marcus can help Will grow up and they can both start to act their age. ISBN: 9780141023663. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

About a Boy

2011. Paperback. Pp: 480. The million-copy number-one bestseller About a Boy is Nick Hornby's comic and heart-warming novel about growing up, staying young, and learning what it means to be responsible. How cool was Will Freeman? Too cool! At thirty-six, he's as hip as a teenager. He's single, child-free, goes to the right clubs and knows which trainers to wear. He's also found a great way to score with women: attend single parents' groups full of available (and grateful) mothers, all hoping to meet a Nice Guy. Which is how Will meets Marcus, the oldest twelve-year-old on the planet. Marcus is a bit strange: he listens to Joni Mitchell and Mozart, looks after his mum and has never owned a pair of trainers. But Marcus latches on to Will - and won't let go. Can Will teach Marcus how to grow up cool? And can Marcus help Will just to grow up? A stunner of a novel. Utterly read-in-one-day, forget-where-you-are-on-the-tube-gripping. (Marie Claire). About the awful, hilarious, embarrassing places where children and adults meet, and Hornby has captured it with delightful precision. ( Irish Times ). It takes a writer with real talent to make this work, and Hornby has it - in buckets. ( Literary Review ). Nick Hornby has captivated readers and achieved widespread critical acclaim for his comic, well-observed novels High Fidelity , How to be Good , A Long Way Down (shortlisted for the Whitbread Award), Slam and Juliet, Naked. His three works of non-fiction, 31 Songs (shortlisted for the National Book Critics Circle Award), Fever Pitch (winner of the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award) and The Complete Polysyllabic Spree are also available from Penguin. In 2002, About a Boy was adapted for film starring Hugh Grant and Nicholas Hoult. ISBN: 9780241950227. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
