Diviners von moody rick (56 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. During one month in the autumn of election year 2000, scores of movie-business strivers are focused on one goal: getting a piece of an elusive, but surely huge, television saga, the one that opens with Huns sweeping through Mongolia and closes with a Mormon diviner in the Las Vegas desert; the sure-to-please-everyone multigenerational TV miniseries about diviners, those miracle workers who bring water to perpetually thirsty (and hungry and love-starved) humankind. Among the wannabes: Vanessa Meandro, hot-tempered head of Means of Production, an indie film company; her harried and varied staff; a Sikh cab driver, promoted to the office of -theory and practice of TV; a bipolar bicycle messenger, who makes a fateful mis-delivery; two celebrity publicists, the Vanderbilt girls; a thriller writer who gives Botox parties; the daughter of an L.A. big-shot, who is hired to fetch Vanessa+s Krispy Kremes and more; a word man who coined the phrase--inspired by a true story; and a supreme court justice who wants to write the script.A few true artists surface in the course of Moody's rollicking but intricately woven novel, and real emotion eventually blossoms for most of Vanessa's staff at Means of Production, even herself. THE DIVINERS is a cautionary tale about pointless ambition; a richly detailed look at the interlocking worlds of money, politics, addiction, sex, work, and family in modern America; and a masterpiece of comedy that will bring Rick Moody to a still higher level of appreciation.…

Zustand: Very Good. : En el otoño del año electoral 2000, multitud de personas del negocio cinematográfico se enfocan en un objetivo: conectarse a una saga televisiva elusiva pero potencialmente enorme. Esta saga comienza con los hunos arrasando Mongolia y termina con un mormón en el desierto de Las Vegas, una miniserie multigeneracional sobre adivinos, aquellos trabajadores milagrosos que llevan agua a una humanidad perpetuamente sedienta. Entre los aspirantes se encuentran Vanessa Meandro, la temperamental jefa de una compañía de cine independiente, su personal variado, un taxista sij, un mensajero bipolar en bicicleta, las chicas Vanderbilt, un escritor de thrillers que organiza fiestas de Botox y un director ejecutivo de programación de la cadena cuya hija es la asistente de Vanessa. 'The Diviners' es una historia sobre la ambición sin sentido, una mirada detallada a los mundos interconectados del dinero, la política, la adicción, el sexo, el trabajo y la familia en la América moderna, y una obra maestra de la comedia.

Zustand: NEAR FINE. First printing. A satirical novel (Moody's first novel in 7 years) with a huge cast of characters linked together by "a proposed television miniseries about water dowsers, or diviners, that starts with the Mongol hordes, works its way through Gypsies and Mormons, and ends up in Las Vegas. This script, as it happens, doesn't actually exist. As a joke, Thaddeus and Annabel have concocted a fake summary of the project that goes awry because of a mistake by Tyrone's messenger service. As a result, a number of people who have no idea what they're bidding on, including Vanessa, begin to fight over the right to produce the series. And this fraud, which rather pointedly takes place during the post-election shenanigans of the 2000 presidential contest, begins to resonate in unpredictable ways." (Washington Post review) 567 pp. Near fine in near fine dust jacket (nick at bottom of dj spine).…
