Bücher von Edward St Aubyn

Edward St Aubyns fünf Romane um sein Alter Ego Patrick Melrose, 'Schöne Verhältnisse', 'Schlechte Neuigkeiten', 'Nette Aussichten', 'Muttermilch' und 'Zu guter Letzt', liegen hiermit erstmals in einem Band vor. 'St Aubyns autobiografische Romane sind schillernde Wunder. Sprachlich virtuos, ohne je manieriert zu sein, ironisch und zugleich voller Empathie - und ganz einfach spannend sind sie außerdem.' Der Spiegel 'Der vielleicht brillanteste englische Romancier seiner Generation' Alan Hollinghurst 'Humor, Pathos, ein messerscharfes Urteilsvermögen, Schmerz, Freude und alles dazwischen. Die Melrose-Romane sind ein Meisterwerk des 21. Jahrhunderts, verfasst von einem unserer größten Prosadichter.' Alice Sebold 'Warum nur habe ich mich erst jetzt in die brillanten Romane von Edward St Aubyn verliebt?' Bret Easton Ellis

Bravely imaginative and self-sufficient, five-year-old Patrick encounters the volatile lives of adults with care. His father, David, rules with considered cruelty, and Eleanor, his mother, has retreated into drink. They are expecting guests for dinner. But this afternoon is unlike the chain of summer days before, and the shocking events that precede the guests' arrival tear Patrick's world in two.Never Mind was originally published, along with Bad News and Some Hope, as part of a three book omnibus , also called Some Hope.
