Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) reader1009 | Jul 3, 2021 |  If you're a fan of Miss Daisy Ashford's The Young Visiters you will probably enjoy this one very much as well, for different reasons. It's definitely the most searing portrait of desperation I remember ever having read, in an extraordinarily amusing way. Don't want to give much away, since to say almost anything would indeed do just that, but I can certainly safely say that the narrator is rather immediately recognizable as unreliable, and the fun is gradually finding out why and then going along with it. (Note: 5 stars = amazing, wonderful, 4 = very good book, 3 = decent read, 2 = disappointing, 1 = awful, just awful. I'm fairly good at picking for myself so end up with a lot of 4s).

The recollections of a girl growing up in rural England appear to be written by someone who knows nothing about rural England. Or, for that matter, being a girl." isabelx | Mar 19, 2011 | Turns out there is a very good reason for that. It’s an excellent send up of the memoir market, and ‘society’ society. All wrapped up in a bizarre, very funny package. ( ) Staramber | Aug 6, 2009 |
Bruno Maddox is desperately improvising a memoir at breakneck speed in a single night. It is the most bizarre of memoirs -- a woman's recollections of an English country childhood, by an author who knows nothing about rural England . . . and even less about being a woman. As dawn approaches and exhaustion takes hold, he is forced to confront the obvious: that his threadbare, TV-taught understanding of world history is entirely to blame for the debilitating holes in his personality. How has Bruno ended up in such a ludicrous predicament? Why is he so desperate to finish before morning? And who has put him up to this challenge? A love story, a murder mystery, a satire of Nabokovian cleverness, MY LITTLE BLUE DRESS is a hilariously audacious first novel. obvious: that his threadbare, TV-taught understanding of world history is entirely to blame for the debilitating holes in his personality.
