All My Precious Madness - Mark Bowles - diskuze

ALL MY PRECIOUS MADNESS is the story of a man at odds with the world. A man who wants to escape his violent past but instead - most emphatically repeats it. Henry Nash has hauled his way from a working class childhood in Bradford, through an undergraduate degree at Oxford, and into adulthood and an academic elite. But still, he can''t escape his anger. As the world - and men in particular - continues to disappoint him, so does his rage grow in m omentum until it becomes almost rapturous. And lethal. A savagely funny novel that disdains literary and moral conventions, All My Precious Madness is also a work of deep empathy even if when that also means understanding the darkest parts of humanity. It is, as critic Stephen Mitchelmore says, the book for everyone who longs for ''an English Bernhard'' - and to read one of the most electric debuts of the last decade.
