Описание книги

Long-listed for the ReLit Award, 2009 Reese Larkin is desperate to find the perfect mattress. His job is in jeopardy and he’s been forced to separate from his wife and children, but he believes that if he can find the ultimate sleep system his life will begin anew. In her seventh novel, Cordelia Strube grabs readers by the neuroses with a dark but wickedly fun story about a former Greenpeace activist forced to turn marketeer who battles against a world in which he is confronted by shift mattress sales clerks, a Fred and Ginger-obsessed strip-bar waitress, derisive colleagues, and a wife who has mysteriously turned cold and is keeping his children from him. Alone in his damp basement apartment with his daughter’s hamster, he longs for a good night’s sleep and, though faced with despair, begins each day hopefully as he grips tighter to the edges of his life. Engaging, enlightening, and always entertaining, Planet Reese is an intensely personal and endearing tale of a man holding on to his sanity against all odds in an increasingly unhinged world.

About the Author

Отрывок из книги

“Smart eccentric prose.” (New York Times)

“Often witty and pointedly observant in the face of pain and adversity.” (Newsday)

.....

As the plane stabilizes, Reese vows to renovate the bathroom. Any bathtub she wants, she shall have. Although, he would like one of those water-saver toilets.

The magician crawls back into his seat, his spiked hair flattened by the blanket. The nose-haired man, having slept through the excitement, indicates that he needs to use the wash-room again. The magician and Reese stand to let him pass. Reese moves up the aisle to check on his beloved family. All three are blissfully asleep, cuddled. He wants to put his arms around them, cherish them, forever. They are the posts to which he is pegged. Without them he would collapse. He kisses all three of them lightly on their heads while the German stares.
