Rules For Saying Goodbye Zusammenfassung

Rules For Saying Goodbye Katherine Taylor

At thirteen everyone can see Kath's got her eye on bigger things than provincial Fresno can offer. Years in the glamourous chill of an East Coast prep school introduce her to a razor sense of social distinction, cocaine 'so good it's pink', and an indispensible best friend. As she navigates her twenties there are fourteen-dollar cocktails but no money for groceries; unsuitable men of enormous charm, and unsuitable jobs of no charm at all; travelling for love and travelling with mother and a yearning for a transformation from someone of promise into someone of genius. In this witty and affecting debut, fiction winks at real life: Katherine Taylor is its muddled heroine, and also its author. Written with an unerring sense of the delights and malaises of a generation RULES FOR SAYING GOODBYE is about breaking down and putting yourself back together again.

Rules For Saying Goodbye Bewertungen

'Achieves a directness and intimacy few novels can match. A beautifully observed and poignant book.' -- T.C. Boyle 'Taylor is a superb satirist...[she] manages to make worn New York yarns feel fresh again.' -- Publishers Weekly 'A deliciously funny, vividly observed look at the troublesome business of getting a life' -- Marie Claire 'A dazzling first novel about coming of age in NYC.' -- Elle 'Poised, wry and thoughtful, if this were a cocktail, it would probably be a dirty Martini.' -- Guardian 'A surprisingly literary tale of an urbane New Yorker surrendering to a late-twenties crisis. It focuses on an enjoyably dysfunctional tribe...and the mother is a classic comic depiction.' -- Vogue 'Reading Katherine Taylor is like meeting, at a party full of strangers, the person you instantly recognise will be a friend for life. Confiding, gossipy and heartfelt' -- Elisabeth Robinson, author of The True and Amazing Adventures of the Hunt Sisters
