Paperback. Zustand: New. Who's Who in Hell is a compelling, uproarious, and achingly moving story about what happens when our plans for life meet its plans for us. Written with a keen eye and enormous heart that call to mind David Schickler, Nick Hornby, and early Roddy Doyle, Who's Who in Hell is a novel with a voice all its ow…n.Daniel Linnell is a charming, rather hapless young man until he meets Laura -- an unsettlingly feisty American who likes to parachute out of planes on weekends. Recently fired from a job as a relatively unskilled counselor for London's desperate, he meets Laura one night in a bar and quickly finds himself falling for her. At the same time, he finds a new job as an obituarist and is caught up in the day-to-day life of the oddballs who produce a major London daily newspaper. His editor, Whittington, a dyed-in-the-wool English eccentric, initiates him into the pecking order of obituarists vs. news reporters vs. the sports desk; the annual ritual of the drunken Obituaries Outing with all of the octogenarian history buffs who provide their research; and the secret cache of unexpurgated obits of the less-than-angelic, obits that will never see print -- which Whittington keeps in a hollowed-out book in his office. With Whittington's encouragement, Daniel begins to write a Who's Who in Hell -- a mammoth compendium of the evil and damned. Begun for his own amusement, the book takes on a momentum of its own and garners him a publisher's advance. He goes to Kansas to meet Laura's parents. Things are all going beautifully. But it's always then that things have a way of changing.Who's Who in Hell is a delightfully antic, deeply moving novel that captures the joys and agonies of love and theperverse deceptions and unanticipated highs and lows of life. It is sure to establish Robert Chalmers as one of the brightest young writers out of Britain.

Zustand: Wie neu. Erstausgabe. 360 Seiten. Sehr guter Zustand. Frisches Exemplar. Wie ungelesen. - . When Londoner Daniel Linnell meets American barkeep Laura Jardine, she goes "off in his life like a bomb." Daniel is initially intimidated by the fact that she has slept with so many men and, although they are at once inseparable…, he is haunted by the fear that she will be unfaithful. . Witty, very well written (the obituaries themselves are gems), and delightfully unpredictable, this is an impressive debut by a writer to watch. Joanne Wilkinson Copyright American Library Association. - 'Chalmers balances tragedy and comedy with the skill and poise of John Irving' Independent Towards closing time in a London pub, Daniel Linnell has the idea of writing Who's Who In Hell: a mammoth compendium of the damned. Daniel is supported by his girlfriend Laura, a feisty American with aberrant instincts and a dangerous attraction to altitude, and by his boss Alexander Whittington, the maverick obituaries editor of a national newspaper. News of the book's publication precipitates a sequence of events that propel Daniel and Laura out of their North London flat, deep into the badlands of Kansas - where they receive a unique welcome from her crazed and dysfunctional family - and back again. This compelling modern love story establishes Robert Chambers as one of the most original voices in contemporary fiction. - - Robert Chalmers writes for the Mail on Sunday, GQ and the Independent. He lives in London and this is his first book. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 300 21 cm. Illustrierte Originalbroschur. Dieses Buch ist in englischer Sprache.
