A Horse Walks Into a Bar: Vintage International

Autor David Grossman Traducere de Jessica Cohen
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 ian 2018
WINNER OF THE MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL PRIZE - From the bestselling author of To the End of the Land comes a searing story of loss and survival. In a dive bar in a small Israeli city, Dov Greenstein, a comedian a bit past his prime, takes the stage for his final show. Over the course of a single evening, Dov's patter becomes a kind of memoir, taking us back into the terrors of his childhood. And in the dance between comic and audience, a deeper story begins to take shape as Dov confronts the decision that has shaped the course of his life--a story that will alter the lives of several of those in attendance. A Horse Walks Into a Bar is a poignant exploration of how people confront life's capricious battering.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Winner of the 2017 Man Booker International Prize.

Flaying alive both himself and the people watching him, Dovaleh G provokes both revulsion and empathy from an audience that doesn't know whether to laugh or cry - and all this in the presence of a former childhood friend who is trying to understand why he's been summoned to this performance.
