The Yips

  • The Yips
Le Pitch
Présentation de l'éditeur The hilarious Man Booker-longlisted novel from the author of ‘Darkmans’ and ‘The Burley Cross Postbox Theft’. 2006 is a foreign country; they do things differently there. Tiger Woods' reputation is entirely untarnished and the English Defence League does not exist. But storm-clouds are gathering above the bar of the less-than-exclusive Thistle Hotel in Luton. Among those caught up in the unfolding drama are a man who's survived cancer seven times, a woman priest with an unruly fringe, the troubled family of a notorious local fascist, an interfering barmaid with three E's at A-level but a PhD in bullshit, a free-thinking Muslim sex therapist and his considerably more pious wife. But at the heart of every intrigue and the bottom of every mystery is the repugnantly charismatic Stuart Ransom – a golf star in free-fall. Biographie de l'auteur Nicola Barker’s work has been translated into numerous languages, and received great critical acclaim and numerous prizes. Her work includes Love Your Enemies, Wide Open (International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award), Clear (longlisted for the Man Booker Prize), Darkmans (shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize) and The Yips (longlisted for the Man Booker Prize). She was named as one of Granta’s 20 Best Young British Novelists by in 2005. Afficher moinsAfficher plus
