Best known as a stand-up comedian and television star, Sean Hughes has won acclaim with his trademark black comedy. In It's What He Would've Wanted, Hughes combines edgy humor with considerable narrative powers to tell the story of Shea Hickson, whose footloose, disaffected existence is turned upside down when he finds his father, a BBC weatherman, hanging from the light fixture. The Hicksons appear to be a quintessentially comfortable, suburban, middle-class family. But when Shea discovers an encoded journal his Father had been keeping, he uncovers shocking revelations about his father's disappointed life as a parent, husband, and disillusioned minor celebrity. With wry humor and savage undercurrents the tale winds through the seamier side of London life -- skirting the worlds of television, newspapers, and small-scale urban terrorism. Ultimately, the unraveling of the Hickson family's increasingly distasteful secrets forces a reluctant Shea to grow up. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
