Bajo el edredón es una selección de mis artículos periodísticos, con el añadido de ocho relatos cortos. Si has leído mis novelas (seguro que sí), ya conoces bastante mis temas preferidos y mis obsesiones: La moda. Sobre todo los zapatos y Prada… pero ¿quién no está desesperadamente enamorada de Prada? Los hombres. No me refiero al mío, a Él Mismo, entiéndeme. Bueno, un poco sí, pero hay unos cuantos por ahí que son increíbles. Viajar. Claro que me gusta, pero sufro de jet lag después de un vuelo de una hora. No es broma. Y mucho más: mi madre, mis hermanos, amigos varios (algunos muy extraños), mi casa, los miles de cosas que todavía no sé hacer… Ahora espero que te guste esta excursión por mi mundo. A mostly amiable and low-key amusing collection of short essays, ideal for an ex-pat who's missing being surrounded by Irish voices and diction. (Though Marian Keyes never actually explains what words like stocious, wan, yoke, etc. mean so parts might be confusing for non-Irish people.) The essays about Keyes' battles with depression and alcoholism are less frothy pieces than the pink cover might lead you to expect, but that's par for the course with her style of writing. The one real bum note is the very last piece, about a trip which she and her husband made to Vietnam—it takes a patronising, infantilising approach to the Vietnamese which earlier pieces in the book criticise the English for adopting towards the Irish. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
From the acclaimed bestselling author of Sushi for Beginners and Angels comes a collection of personal essays on shopping, writing, moviemaking, motherhood and all the assorted calamities involved in being a savvy woman in the new millennium. Her novels are read and adored by millions around the world, and with Under the Duvet, Marian Keyes tackles the world of nonfiction. These are her collected pieces: regular bulletins from the woman writing under the covers. Marian loves shoes and her LTFs (Long-Term Friends), hates realtors and lost luggage, and she once had a Christmas office party that involved roasting two sheep on a spit, Moroccan-style. She's just like you and me ... Featuring a wide compilation of Marian's journalism from magazines and newspapers, plus some exclusive, previously unpublished material, Under the Duvet is bursting with funny stories: observations on life, in-laws, weight loss, parties and driving lessons that will keep you utterly gripped -- either wincing with recognition or roaring with laughter.
