A Friend of the Earth Zusammenfassung

A Friend of the Earth T. C. Boyle

An ecological black comedy and provocative modern morality tale; 'Boyle's prose is so good and his imagination so fertile that after a while you just sit back and are swept along' (Daily Telegraph) It's 2025, and 75-year-old environmentalist Ty Tierwater is eking out a bleak loving managing a pop star's private zoo. It is the last one in southern California and vital for the cloning of its captive species. Once, Ty was so serious about environmental causes that as an eco-terrorist committed to Earth Forever! he endangered the lives of both his daughter, Sierra, and his wife, Andrea. Now, when he's just trying to survive in a world cursed by storm and drought, Andrea returns to his life. Frightening, funny, surreal and gripping, T.C. Boyle's story is both a modern morality tale, and a provocative vision of the future

A Friend of the Earth Bewertungen

Surreal, daring and compassionate. Easily one of the best books of the year * Daily Mail *
Bursting with imagination and humour ... Very sharp and funny ... Boyle's prose is so good and his imagination so fertile that after a while you just sit back and are swept along regardless * Daily Telegraph *
A comedy with teeth from one of America's most consistently inventive novelists ... Boyle's prose is razor sharp and darkly funny. He captures brilliantly all the chaos and compassion of Ty's young and old world * The Times *
T.C. Boyle is one of the most inventive and verbally exuberant writers of his generation * New York Times *
Superb ... if Boyle was from this side of the pond, this is the book they'd all have to beat for the Booker Prize * Sunday Tribune *
Boyle's bleak vision of the future is visibly human, and behind the frenzied articulacy lies a compelx, sentimental yearning that gives heart to our absurd extremes * Observer *
