I enjoyed this quick read about a grumpy dying guy whose every attempt at controlling his life and death is thwarted by his disorderly family. About a third of the way in I noticed to my surprise that it was written by a woman. Surprise because of the descriptions of the lead character's obsession with having sex with every woman who crosses his path. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

HTML:Hugo Whittierâ??failed poet and former kept manâ??is a wily misanthrope with a taste for whiskey, women, and his own cooking. Afflicted with a rare disease that will be fatal unless he quits smoking, Hugo retreats to his once aristocratic familyâ??s dilapidated mansion, determined to smoke himself to death without forfeiting any of his pleasures. To his chagrin, the world that he has forsaken is not quite finished with him. First, his sanctimonious older brother moves in, closely followed by his estranged wife, their alleged daughter, and his gay uncle. Infuriated at the violation of his sanctum, Hugo devises hilariously perverse ploys to send the intruders packing. Yet the unexpected consequences of his schemes keep forcing him to reconsider, however fleetingly, the more wholesome ingredients of love, and life itself. BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Kate Christensen's Blue Plate Spe Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
