Things I Like About America: Tales of an American Drifter [Idioma Inglés] - Softcover

'Spiked with wry and necessary humour ... Risky, self-effacing and compelling, THINGS I LIKE ABOUT AMERICA is a rare blend of personal narrative, social commentary, melancholy and hope' GUARDIAN * 'Characters that leap from the page like a pop-up book... Ballantine has a style all of his own' EVENING HERALD * 'A born raconteur who serves America's underbelly sunny side up' THE TIMES * 'Calmer than Bukowski, less portentous than Kerouac, more hopeful than West' SAN DIEGO TRIBUNE * 'Warm-hearted, witty and tender ... Pinballing around the country, Ballantine describes a patchwork quilt of small town Americana, along the way meeting a rich cast of drunks, headcases and deadbeats... I devoured THINGS I LIKE ABOUT AMERICA in one sitting' GUARDIAN ONLINE * 'Ballantine has honed his prose so that it is as fresh as a downpour in Decora... He humanises the mythic underbelly of the American nowhere' THE TIMES * 'Poe Ballantine finds humour in situations that most would find unbearable and flourishes like a modern-day Kerouac ... A book to cherish and pass on to friends' MARK POIRIER * ---

“Crushed testicles, torn scrotums, a waiter who is set on fire ‘to prove it could be done,’ The Selman-Troytt Papers is positively Beckettian. . . . Clever, eccentric—a bit like Flann O’Brien on a nasty day—and focussed on the lower half of the body.”—The Independent
