Setting Free The Bears Zusammenfassung

Setting Free The Bears John Irving

'The brown bears paced, brushing their thick coats against the bars; their heads swayed low to the ground, in rhythm with some ritual of stealth they were born knowing and pointlessly never forgot' It is 1967 and two Viennese university students decide to liberate the Vienna Zoo, as was done after World War II. The eccentric duo, Graff and Siggy, embark on an adventure-filled motorbike tour of Austria as they prepare for "the great zoo bust." But their grand scheme will have both comic and gruesome consequences, as they are soon to find out...

Setting Free The Bears Bewertungen

"The most nourishing, satisfying novel I have read in years. I admire the hell out of it" -- Kurt Vonnegut Jr
"Sensual, moving, truly remarkable" * Time *
"Imagine a mixture of Till Eulenspiegel and Ken Kesey and you've got the range of the merry pranksters who hot-rod through Mr Irving's book, tossing flowers, stealing salt-shakers, and planning the biggest caper of their young lives" * The New York Times *
