Wig My Father Wore (Enright Anne)(Paperback) - diskuze

Man Booker winner Anne Enright’s moving and darkly funny debut novel of sex, death and reproductionGrace is a TV producer whose life is transfigured when she answers the door to a fully-fledged angel. Stephen was a bridge-builder in Canada before he killed himself, but now that he has come to stay with Grace he spends the night hanging by the neck in her shower, to help himself think. She falls in love, moving steadily from the spiritual to the anatomical.Meanwhile, as her TV day job on the ''Love Quiz'' begins to spiral out of control, on the other side of her life is her father, benign, bewigged and stricken by a stroke - apparently mad but probably the sanest person in her life. As the three worlds meet and merge in a forest of contradictions, we watch Grace take the pacific path from cynicism to innocence, as all around her the novel thunders to a conclusion.‘Reckless intelligence, savage humour, slow revelation, no consolation: Anne Enright''s fiction is jet dark - but how it glitters’ New York Times Book Review
