Biographie de l'auteur :
A witty debut novel about a housesitting gig gone terribly, hilariously wrong.
A British copywriter stays for a week at his composer friend Oskar’s elegant, ultramodern apartment in a glum Eastern European city. The instructions are simple: feed the cats, don’t touch the piano, and make sure nothing harms the priceless wooden floors. Content for the first time in ages, he accidentally spills some wine. Over the course of a week, both the apartment and the narrator’s sanity fall apart in this original and “weirdly addictive” (Daily Mail) novel.
As the situation in and out of the sleek apartment spirals out of control, more of Oskar’s notes appear, taking on an insistent—even sinister—tone. Care of Wooden Floors is a must-read for anyone who’s ever bungled a housesitting gig, or felt inferior to a perfectionist friend—that is to say, all of us.

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : Very Good. 304 pages. price labels marks on front, edge tanning, otherwise Near Fine:CARE OF WOODEN FLOORSBy Will Wi lesHarperPress, UK, 2012ISBN 978000743126 7sml trade pb, 304ppVERY GOOD: price labels mar ks on front, edge tanning, otherwise near-newA bold a nd brilliant debut from a darkly funny new voice.Oska r is a minimalist composer best known for a piece called Variatio ns on Tram Timetables. He is married to a Californian art dealer named Laura and he lives with two cats, named after Russian compo sers, in an Eastern European city. But this book isn't really abo ut Oskar. Oskar is in Los Angeles, having his marriage dismantled by lawyers. He has entrusted an old university friend with the t ask of looking after his cats, and taking care of his perfect, be autiful apartment. Despite the fact that Oskar has left dozens of surreally detailed notes covering every aspect of looking after the flat, things do not go well.Care of Wooden Floors is about how a tiny oversight can trip off a disastrous and f arcical (fatal, even) chain of consequences. It's about a friends hip between two men who don't know each other very well. It's abo ut alienation and being alone in a foreign city. It's about the q uest for perfection and the struggle against entropy. And it is, a little, about how to take care of wooden floors. N° de réf. du vendeur 1105i
