Présentation de l'éditeur Is it possible to share your life with someone whose record collection is incompatible with your own? Can people have terrible taste and still be worth knowing? Do songs about broken hearts and misery and loneliness mess up your life if consumed in excess? For Rob Fleming, thirty-five years old, a pop addict and owner of a failing record shop, these are the sort of questions that need an answer, and soon. His girlfriend has just left him. Can he really go on living in a poky flat surrounded by vinyl and CDs or should he get a real home, a real family and a real job? Perhaps most difficult of all, will he ever be able to stop thinking about life in terms of the All Time Top Five bands, books, films, songs - even now that he's been dumped again, the top five break-ups? Memorable, sad and very, very funny, this is the truest book you will ever read about the things that really matter. Biographie de l'auteur Nick Hornby was born in 1957 and worked as a teacher before becoming a full-time writer. He has written six bestselling novels: High Fidelity, About a Boy, How to Be Good, A Long Way Down, Slam (a YA novel) and Juliet, Naked. His screenplay for the film An Education was nominated for an Oscar in 2010. He lives in north London. Afficher moinsAfficher plus
