Luke Rhinehart – författare

DEN HÄR BOKEN KAN FÖRÄNDRA DITT LIV

Låt tärningen bestämma! Det beslutet förändrar livet för den uttråkade psykiatern Luke Rhinehart. För när man lägger sitt öde i tärningens händer, kan allt hända.

Tärningsspelaren gavs ut första gången 1971, och snabbt spreds ryktet över världen. Underhållande, rolig, otäck, chockerande och subversiv – denna kultklassiker fortsätter att fängsla nya generationer och har satt ett djupt avtryck i vår tids populärkultur.

Tärningsspelaren handlar om att låta slumpen ta kontroll över livet, men det är också en bok som ifrågasätter moral och vad som är sant om rätt och fel.

Boken innehåller ett exklusivt efterord av författaren.

”Tänk tidig Woody Allen, Manhattan, freudiansk psykoanalys och sexuell frigörelse – och scenen är riggad.” Dagens Nyheter

”Det är en frisk, fräck och rolig berättelse, som driver hänsynslöst med konventioner och vedertagen moral.” Dagens Industri
