Tund

En savoir plus sur le livre

Stories by the U.S.-born, Prague-based author Thor Garcia. From the publisher, Litteraria Pragensia: "By turns defiant, paranoid, brooding, absurd and knock-down funny, Thor Garcia's TUND is a startling creation. Peopled by a galaxy of fringe operators and hoodlums, tattered no-hopers and doom-drenched true believers, sadistic children and tormented hooch hounds -- and not least, a girl called Spoogeface -- TUND is a swirling landscape of meltdowns, terrifying visions and punch-drunk epiphanies. Irreverent and iconoclastic, it probes the desolation and cruelties, desperation and contradictions, the hazards and hoopla, of life in an unstable and emotionally crippled age. Brimming with riotous panache, anarchic soul and sinewy, exultant writing, TUND is sure to stimulate and dazzle." Includes "Baycity," "Rabbit Country," "The Diddling of the Immensity," "The Blues Guitarists Have Been Crucified," "Tony and Poof," "Dagger," "I Believed," "The Untuning of the Sky," "Oh, Balls!" "The Cabbage" and "The Tale of Lanny the Dog." ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Thor Garcia was born in Long Beach, California, and has lived in Prague since the mid-1990s.
