( ) This is a deft, ironic, and darkly comic "diary." Mr. Anastas has created a very "authentic" underachiever - a character with "potential" who is content with whatever happens. I laughed a lot, and recommended this book to a few people who may appreciate it. People who tend to see the ordinary activities of life as very serious business will probably despise this book. OK. So I didn't finish this book. I think fear got the better of me...fear that reading about underachievement would exacerbate my own predilection for stunning underachievement. With that said, Anastas' writing style was a little quirky to me -- it didn't flow so much as stubmle, and the funnies would sneak up on me, quiet enough that I didn't realize something was funny until a few sentences later. I think if I had read this book 7 or 10 years ago I would have LOVED it...but now I'm a little too old for young adult apathy.
Über zu wenige Verlierer kann sich die Literatur, zumal die moderne, sicherlich nicht beklagen; die Zahl der tragisch Gescheiterten ist Legion. Selten aber war das Verlieren so unterhaltsam wie im "Tagebuch eines Versagers" von Benjamin Anastas. Wo so mancher deutsche Autor wohl im eigenen Nabel pulen und schnell langweilig werden würde, dort inszeniert der dreißigjährige Amerikaner in seinem Debütroman ein Feuerwerk grotesker Situationskomik.
Meet William, a devout underachiever. He enters life as the firstborn of identical twin boys. It is the last time he will beat his overachieving brother Clive, or anyone else for that matter, at anything. This is William’s manifesto for the underachiever. It is the chronicle of a lifetime of failure–part diary and part handbook for self-defeat. At once corrosively funny and surprisingly tender, An Underachiever’s Diary is a classic tale of perverse perseverance. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
