Condition: Gut. 383 Seiten, Sehr guter Zustand - leichte Gebrauchsspuren am Schutzumschlag. Aus dem Englischen ("Vernon God Little", 2003) übertragen von Karsten Kredel. "Booker-Preis 2003: Nach Coetzee, Atwood, Martell: Booker-Preis 2003 an DBC Pierre. Das moderne Amerika - eine funkelnde schwarze Komödie über unser Unbehagen und unsere Faszination. Vernon Little sitzt im städtischen Gefängnis von Martirio, der »Barbecuesaucen-Hauptstadt von Texas«. Er hat ein ernsthaftes Problem: Sein Kumpel Jesus hat soeben 16 Klassenkameraden ins Jenseits befördert und sich dann selbst erschossen. Auf Vernon, seinen einzigen Freund, konzentrieren sich nun die Rachegelüste der Stadt und die Sensationsgier der Medien. DBC Pierres Debütroman ist mehr als eine Spritztour durch die Welt populärer Kultur - seine literarischen Referenzen finden sich in den amerikanischen Klassikern. Die Fülle an peinigender Ungerechtigkeit, die Vernon widerfährt, erinnert an den »Fänger im Roggen«, und die Unschuld eines Huck Finn wird ebenso zitiert wie die komische Larmoyanz eines Portnoy von Philip Roth. Auf der Oberfläche ist »Jesus von Texas« ein Roman, der die Sprachblasen einer hysterischen Medienwelt und den Plüschkosmos der Homeshopping-Kanäle parodiert. Doch hinter der grellbunten Kulisse des Geschehens lauert das Dämonische. Vernon ist der einzige, der es sieht und mit schockierender Lakonie benennt. Nicht er ist ein Killer, sondern er ist umgeben von Mördern und Brandstiftern; nicht er ist das verkommene Subjekt, als das ihn alle diffamieren, sondern er ist der einzig Unschuldige inmitten einer verdorbenen Welt, die ihn gekreuzigt sehen möchte. »Jesus von Texas« ist ein hellwacher Gesellschaftsroman von perfider und unversöhnlicher Klarheit, der in England und den USA für Aufsehen gesorgt hat, weil er die von Michael Moore (»Bowling for Columbine«, »Stupid White Men«) geäußerte Kritik literarisch überzeugend weiterführt. DBC Pierre: Nachdem Peter Warren Finlay 20 Jahre lang ein selbstzerstörerisches Leben jenseits aller Legalität geführt hat, zieht er sich nach Irland zurück, um den Roman »Jesus von Texas« zu schreiben. Die Ernsthaftigkeit seiner Wandlung betonend, nimmt er ein Pseudonym an, das für »Dirty But Clean Peter« steht."(Verlagstext). Autorenporträt: DBC Pierre ist das Pseudonym des australischen Schriftstellers Peter Warren Finlay (geboren 1961 in Old Reynella, South Australia, Australien). Die Annahme dieses Pseudonyms soll die Ernsthaftigkeit ausdrücken, mit der Finlay seine neuen Aufgaben als Schriftsteller wahrnehmen will. DBC Pierre steht für Dirty But Clean Peter, was für den Wandel seines Lebens stehen soll, denn während seines Lebens ist es Finlay gelungen von seinem Nachbar in Mexiko-Stadt angeschossen zu werden, Schulden in Höhe von 100.000 Dollar anzuhäufen, drogen- und spielsüchtig zu werden und eine Reihe Frauen zu hintergehen (Klappentext zu Jesus von Texas").(aus Wikipedia).

Book
Copertina morbida. Condition: Ottima. Prima edizione italiana. 305 p. ; 21 x 14 cm. Einaudi tascabili. Stile libero, 1056. Il quindicenne Vernon Gregory Little ha un problema. Ha qualcosa a che fare con il massacro di 16 studenti nel suo liceo. Ma perché lui era fuori, quando il suo amico Jesus ha imbracciato il fucile? Che cosa stava nascondendo? Vernon sa di essere innocente, ma sa anche che essere innocente è proprio un bel guaio in questa strana diabolica società, pronta a farti un processo in diretta su tutte le reti televisive, e magari inventarsi poi un Grande Fratello in prigione, tra i condannati a morte. Accadono strane cose in Vernon God Little. Una strage in una scuola, una caccia all'uomo, un sospettato che si difende con un alibi scatologico, una sentenza capitale che i media elevano a pornografia, una fuga on the road verso un Messico al tempo stesso reale e da cartolina. DBC Pierre riesce a esplorare la mappatura sentimentale ed emotiva del presente, in una scorribanda che tocca ogni latitudine di un'America ascesa a sogno planetario: tenerezza e cinismo, humor nero e leggerezza gioiosa, nichilismo e felicità naturale, colpa e redenzione - e soprattutto amore. Traduzione di Cristiana Mennella. Vincitore del Man Booker Prize 2003. Brossura editoriale, coperta illustrata a colori in cartoncino flessibile plastificato lucido con alette.
