Synopsis uitgever
'A fine novel, about family, migration, identity and the struggle to find and hold onto it. It is also hugely entertaining and very, very funny.' -- Roddy Doyle on THE LAMENTS 'Extremely funny' -- Daily Mail on THE LAMENTS 'The family story has been a durable mainstay of the novel for more than a century ... THE LAMENTS is a lively corrective to the subgenre, a family story on speed, with a jolt of black comedy that makes it a close relative to that greatest of all American family stories, The Simpsons ... any apparent invitation to either characters or readers to fall into a sentimental slump is quickly withdrawn. The only other novel I can think of that creates this effect with equal success is John Irving's World According to Garp...The appearance of George Hagen on the literary scene is a gain for readers everywhere.' -- Jonathan Wilson on THE LAMENTS, New York Times Book Review Meer lezen...
