DO NOT be misled by the inane title: this delightfully sharp book is wry, observant, sensitive without being sentimental, and full of humour. Bachelor David is shocked when a friend decides to marry an unsuitable man, and is determined to destroy the relationship. The story tackles serious issues — love, choices, family and aging — juxtaposed with hilarious episodes.

David just wants to be happy. In fact, he has made it a personal quest to dispel all unhappiness from his life. But its harder than it sounds: hes approaching thirty, a downmarket DJ by day (and a struggling writer by night), living in a cramped Manhattan apartment. His friends are always there for him -- or are they Annie, his closest friend, is getting married to a man David dubs "Rat Boy"; Dustin and Cameron, Davids cohorts in the city, are doing the unthinkable and settling down; and Zach, Davids model of cool, as aloof and evasive as a wisp of smoke, is harboring a secret that could capsize the whole crew. On top of everything, David finds himself falling in love with Jane, a younger woman whose wit and charm are matched only by her instability. The Big Happy asks the big questions: Can love and happiness coexist? Are we doomed to live out the mistakes of our youth? Do friendships ripen, or rot, as we age? For David, the prospect of happiness has never been quite so depressing. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
