Quirky, witty, humorous, disdainful, twisted, sad and then some. About DEATH, one damn original AFTERLIFE (with pictures!), REBIRTH and how none of it MATTERS.

Dot used to think she was perfect, with her pointy nose, pink skin and blonde hair. But now she lives on Abalone Avenue with a husband who chases women and swordfish. And she has a rather icky Fatal Flaw, and the universe doesn't give a damn! So Dot decides to end it all. Will death be fast? Slow? EMBARRASSING? Despite her valiant suicide by tea cosy followed by a jaunt to the morgue, Dot wakes up. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Human nature and anxious preoccupations are explored in the daily life of our middle-aged, opinionated narrator.
Where has this author been hiding all these years? Every sentence comments, entices and advances the subtle narrative links. It is simply a portrait of modern life, seen through a distorted lens, where reality blends with irreverent fantasies. Unexpected observations are strung together with wry, dry humor reminiscent of Alasdair Gray. It even partakes of the flavors of European travel literature, offering a unique perspective on the absurdity of modern conveniences, interactions and relationships.
The book might be seen as hateful or daring by some, but in my opinion, it is simply honest.
I am compelled to read the rest of Lucy Ellmann's books now. ( )
