Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Off-beat, irreverent and subversive a Jewish family memoir about convenient delusions and unsayable truths, from the acclaimed author of the cult classic novel, Submarine 'The best book Ive read in the past year . . . A masterpiece' Financial Times A slippery marvel [and] a quixotic voyage into the heart of 20th-century darkness Observer Poignant and profound, comic and unconventional and genuinely, searingly meaningful The New York Times Joe Dunthorne had always wanted to write about his great-grandfather, Siegfried: an eccentric scientist who invented radioactive toothpaste and a Jewish refugee from the Nazis who returned to Germany under cover of the Berlin Olympics to pull off a heist on his own home. The only problem was that Siegfried had already written the book of his life an unpublished, two-thousand page memoir so dry and rambling that none of his living descendants had managed to read it. And, as it turned out when Joe finally read the manuscript himself, it told a very different story from the one he thought he knew Thus begins a mystery which stretches across the twentieth century and around the world, from Berlin to Ankara, New York, Glasgow and eventually London a mystery about the production of something much more sinister than toothpaste. On the trail of one jolly grandpa with a patchy psychiatric history and an encyclopaedic knowledge of poison gases, Joe Dunthorne is forced to confront the uncomfortable questions that lie at the heart of every family. Can we ever understand where we come from? Is every family in the end a work of fiction? And even if the truth can be found will we be able to live with it? Children of Radium is a remarkable, searching meditation on individual and collective inheritance. Witty and wry, deeply humane and endlessly surprising, it considers the long half-life of trauma, the weight of guilt and the ever-evasive nature of the truth.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Fresh, sharp and wickedly funny, a tragicomic tale of modern living from the author of Submarine Ray is not a bad guy. He mostly did not cheat on his heavily pregnant wife. He only sometimes despises every one of his friends. And though his career as a freelance tech journalist is dismal and he spends his afternoons churning out third-rate listicles in his boxer briefs, he dreams of making a difference. But Ray is about to learn that his special talent is for making things worse. Brace yourself for a wickedly funny look at the modern everyman. The Adulterants is an uproarious tale of competitively sensitive men and catastrophic open marriages, riots on the streets of London and Internet righteousness, and one man's valiant quest to come of age in his thirties. With lacerating wit and wry affection, Joe Dunthorne dissects the urban millennial psyche of a man too old to be an actual millennial. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Condición: Aceptable. : Conozca a Oliver Tate, un adolescente de quince años. Convencido de que su padre está sumido en una depresión y su madre tiene un romance con un instructor de capoeira, se embarca en una hilarante campaña cuyo objetivo es unir de nuevo a la familia. Mientras, intentará también perder la virginidad con Jordana, su novia pirómana. ¿Se saldrá Oliver con la suya? Sumérjase en Submarino y lo averiguará# Con un argumento perfecto y un vocabulario exquisito, la primera novela de Joe Dunthorne trasplanta al sur de Gales las inquietudes del joven idealista de El guardián entre el centeno y la narración en primera persona de Los diarios de Adrian Mole. La trama, metafóricamente, se sitúa bajo el agua. Como en un submarino, el héroe espía la superficie del mundo. En tierra, se siente incómodo y torpe. Y sobre todo, se siente solo. Es un chico gracioso porque torpedea sus oportunidades de ser feliz. Algo que todos hemos hecho en algún momento. La ansiedad es fácilmente reconocible como un sentimiento que acaba provocando la zozobra.
