Heard the one about the Amazon from the Isle of Man? Or perhaps you'd like a job in telesales, offering self-defence classes over the phone? Don't worry, as long as you meet the weekly quota, you won't be sent to the end of the hall...Wonderfully original, fresh and funny, Topics About Which I Know Nothing is stuffed to the gills with dizzyingly inventive writing and warming, puzzling emotions - a fictional guide to how the world might have turned out.

Pressestimmen
'This collection of short stories goes off in myriad directions, each wild conceit different, each one executed with the deceptive ease of a catchy song. All of them are sprinkled with humour and zest but none are inconsequential.' Arena 'Ness's first collection brims with inventiveness and creative audacity.' Daily Telegraph 'Ness's take on the absurd and offbeat is sharp, intelligent and funny.' Time Out 'An utterly compelling account of a young man out in the world ... A truly remarkable fictional character' The Times 'Remarkable, an extraordinary, yet utterly convincing creation' The Scotsman 'Sparkling humour ... Ness has a wonderful imagination: creative, unpretentious and pleasingly bonkers.' Metro (London) 'Very, very funny ... a unique comic manifesto from a very talented newcomer.' Daily Express

A love affair with the English Language
2. Oktober 2007
Von Stephen P. King
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
When was the last time you read, much less used the word, kerfuffle?
You may laugh and maybe shed a tear for a dead brother, but what you will come away with, after reading Patrick Ness's latest book, is the satification of having romped through 10 stories by an author well disciplined, not lazy and in absoultly love with the language.
