Saturday Night Blanker (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

"People say I'm 'whatever'; that's what I'm not. When Luke Skywalker first held his light sabre, he said he could almost see the remote. At first I didn't understand what he meant: the ether, the other, the coming and the gone. My name is Toasty and as for my background, that page has been intentionally left blanker." If Alan Sillitoe had eaten kebabs and bottom-quality narcotics, would he have been such a great writer? No, he'd have been James Radford. What is Saturday Night Blanker? Part satire, part social document, part urban thriller and exclusively comedy, the nonplussing non sequitur of a title chases you down a gritted cul-de-sac and into a naturalistic riot through Nottingham, wherever that is. With more levels than a video game classic, what begins as a novel about lairy lads living for the weekend becomes a struggle for survival, or at least, it does in the mind of Toasty, a narrator with defiant powers of description, a minimum-wage Lothario who never pulls his punches - or anything else. A swing on the bottom rungs of society, Saturday Night Blanker will show you the downtrodden, the asocial, the obesely morbid and above all, the painfully peng. With Saturday Night Blanker, James Radford has created his own post-post-modern literary genre for the 21st century: kebab fiction. As you consume this, you will ask yourself more than once "what the hell is this doing in here?" and yet, you will not stop until there is none left, despite your creeping fear of what it might be doing to you. You will be glad when you have had enough of this. Published 11/12/13 14:15:16 Author's official site is http://www.jamesradford.co.uk and you can also search in vain for him on Tor.
