Revue de presse
''Directions to Servants' reads as a central document in the long, comic and sly history of Irish disrespect which includes Sterne and Sheridan and Wilde, Joyce and Beckett and Flann O'Brien... A stroke of genius' --Colm Toibin
''Directions to Servants' strikes back at the master-servant dependency with an amusing blend of cynical parody and puerile insolence.' --Independent Online
'The sarcasm veers into outright surrealism it's a good idea, Swift suggests, to fling several pounds of butter at the kitchen wall, and pluck it off as required as his satire turns somersaults. 'Directions to Servants' is in the end less an attack on slovenly staff than a gleefully scatological guide to enacting a filthy revenge on ingrate employers.' --Time Out
Présentation de l'éditeur
Taking the form of a handbook of manners, and addressed to each servant individually, 'Directions to Servants' is the ultimate upstairs/downstairs battle. With scathing wit, Swift pits master against servant in an endless struggle for order, frugality and the best bits of the roast. His servants are lazy, profligate, and acquisitive: always on the lookout for a shilling to be made on the sale of leftovers, or a half-bottle of wine to share with the cook. Written in Swift's final years of sanity, 'Directions to Servants' is a last hilarious outpouring of cynicism at a lifetime's accumulation of poor service.
