The Man in the Moon
批評家のレビュー
‘Another splendidly surreal book from Mr Barrow’s pen . . . Beautifully written, with a splendid eye for the inconsequential detail’ Jennifer Paterson, Spectator
‘The Man in the Moon cuts a ripping tear through the elaborations of the current English tragi-comic novel’ Iain Finlayson, Financial Times
‘A splendid straight-faced comedy, not to be missed’ Penelope Fitzgerald, Evening Standard
‘Andrew Barrow’s deadpan wit and extraordinary ear for dialogue turn this short novel into a comic masterpiece’ Selina Hastings, Sunday Telegraph
‘Possibly the most misanthropic novel I’ve read since Gulliver’s Travels’ Lucy Atkins, Guardian
あらすじ・解説
Nostalgic, razor-sharp and deliciously peculiar, this is a weird but wonderful comedy of manners by the award-winning author of The Tap Dancer.
William is a lonely young man on the loose in the late 1960s. A disastrous appearance as a stand-up comic in a pub called The Man In the Moon is only the start of his adventures, in which he consorts with theatrical types, frenzied advertising men and accident-prone lodgers.
William’s exploits lead him eventually to the consulting rooms of a Harley Street psychiatrist, where his delusions that he is a comic genius can finally be laid bare.
