Condition: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Inspired by Erik Satie's work of the same name, Sports and Pastimes is the latest novel by acclaimed Montreal playwright and author Jean-Philippe Baril Guérard. Translated by Aimee Wall (whose translation of Vickie Gendreau's Testament for BookThug… in 2016 drew critical reviews), this fast-paced story follows the daily life, at once empty and overloaded, of a group of friends who spend all their energy trying to distract themselves with huge hits of endorphins, art and various substances, navigating pleasure and boredom, the extraordinary and the banal, as (more or less) worthy representatives of the best and worst of what their era has to offer.
