“Welcome to California, adjust your attitude,” said the sign in the taxi Richard Rayner rode into Los Angeles from the airport. Sound advice, as it turned out. Rayner, in hot pursuit of Barbara the bunny girl, adventure and Angelino ambience, was going to need all the help he could get …

TIME OUT
“Full of the irony of masochism, the masochism of irony … the joy of the book is its humour and its satirical suss … a terrific piece of road comedy”

Etat : Aceptable. : En 'Los Angeles Without a Map', Richard Rayner deja su trabajo y a su novia en Londres para ir tras Barbara, una chica conejita, atleta y fiestera, en Los Ángeles. A pesar de haberse empapado de la cultura americana desde niño, nunca ha estado en Estados Unidos, y para colmo, no tiene carnet de conducir, lo cual no es muy útil en la ciudad de las autopistas. Con un estilo de prosa sencillo y un humor autocrítico, Rayner intenta entender la ciudad viviendo sus fantasías cinematográficas, aunque no explora los temas de decadencia, locura y violencia que tanto tienen que ver con la idiosincrasia de Los Ángeles. EAN: 9780586088852 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Literatura y Ficción Título: Los Angeles Without a Map Autor: Richard Rayner Editorial: HUNTER PUBLISHING+INC Idioma: en Páginas: 208 Formato: tapa blanda.

Paperback. Etat : Good. An autobiographical cult travelogue first published in 1988 and turned into a movie 10 years later, Los Angeles Without a Map sees Richard Rayner leave his long-term girlfriend and steady job back in London to fly on a whim to track down Barbara, a bunny girl, athlete and party head. The plot is set for a good outsider tale with a rather straight Englishman pursuing the affections of an American wild child in an environment that puts him at a distinct disadvantage. Despite having steeped himself in American culture since boyhood he has never been to the USA. Add to that the lack of a driving licence--not a useful situation to be in in the city of freeways and boulevards. 208 pages. N° de réf. du vendeur 1442729
