Beskrivning
A scalpel sharp political satire from the Orange Prize winning writer of We Need to Talk about Kevin.‘A superbly witty political satire’ THE TIMESEdgar Kellogg has always yearned to be popular. Leaving his lucrative career as a lawyer for the sexier world of journalism, he’s thrilled to be offered the post of foreign correspondent in a Portuguese backwater with a home-grown terrorist movement. Barrington Saddler, the disappeared larger-than-life reporter he’s been sent to replace, is exactly the outsize character Edgar longs to emulate.‘The Daring Soldiers of Barba’ have been blowing up the rest of the world for years in order to win independence for Barba, a province so dismal, backward and windblown that you couldn’t give the rat hole away. So why, with Barrington vanished, do the terrorist incidents suddenly dry up?

Som alltid skruvar Shriver till verkligheten så att man tvingas tänka till ordentligt och omvärdera sina åsikter om både ditt och datt. Skruvat, underhållande, välskrivet. Det är förbaskat synd att hennes böcker inte längre översätts till svenska, för hennes språk kan vara ganska utmanande att läsa på engelska.
