Who is Rich?

Matthew Klam

Who is Rich?

‘Who is Rich? Is a tantalizing novel – acute and smart and stark, but mostly it’s unrelentingly funny about a large number of very inappropriate things. It’s one of those rare books: you open it, then you’re up all night. I was‘ Richard FordEvery summer, a once-sort-of famous cartoonist named Rich Fischer leaves his wife and two kids behind to teach a class at a week-long arts conference in a charming New England beachside town. It’s a place where drum circles happen on the beach at midnight,...

12 jõulujuttu

Tarmo Teder

12 jõulujuttu

“12 jõulujuttu” koosneb tosinast novellist. Neid kõiki ühendab see, et tegevus leiab aset jõulude ajal. Kuid pühalikku rahu ei oska tegelased saavutada, sest nad jäävad igasuguste probleemidega räheldes oludele jalgu ning mässivad end jaburatesse ja ennekuulmatutesse situatsioonidesse. Tegu oleks justkui lihtsate inimestega, kellel on aga keeruline hingeelu ja kes ei oska ega tahagi normaalselt elada.

Lisaks annab talle nõu ema, kelle eraelu on läinud üsna tormiliseks, Bridget peetakse kinni narkoäris kahtlustatuna ning ka eneseabiraamatud ei paista enam aitavat. 368 lk
