Critiques
Of Love and Hunger par Julian Maclaren-Ross
Recommended by K.J., who noted that Powell based X. Trapnel on Maclaren-Ross. K.J. was surprised to note that this novel is really very good. I agree.
Injustamente ignorado en nuestro país, Maclaren-Ross, el excéntrico escritor inglés admirado por Graham Green y George Orwell, retrata en esta novela la agitada vida del Soho a través de dos inolvidables personajes, Richard y Sukie, y sus andanzas por pubs y hoteluchos. Una novela de gran ingenio donde se mezcla la indigencia y el romanticismo, en la mejor tradición de la literatura cómica británica.
Utterly engrossing account, narrated by one Richard Fanshawe and set in the immediate lead-up to World War 2. Fanshawe is an educated man - a former journalist in India, where things didn't work out - but is currently scraping a living as an unsuccessful vacuum cleaner salesman. In debt to his tobacconist and others; struggling to keep a roof over his head by fobbing off the landlady to whom he is in arrears; and with occasional recollections of his unhappy past surfacing, life isn't good. Then his colleague goes off to be a ship's steward, leaving his adored wife in Fanshawe's care... And the War is looming, but is of secondary importance in the struggle for survival...
I absolutely loved it, especially the hilarious incidents in his salesmanship career.… (plus d'informations)
