A propos de cet article

__________________________________________'One of the funniest, most finely achieved comic novels, even by her own standard ? I think it?s a masterpiece.' ALI SMITH?I think Nicola Barker is incapable of a dull page. [Her work] is unified by its spirit of adventure.? KEVIN BARRYHow long does it take to change the world?Could it happen in approximately twenty minutes?Charles, a forty-year-old teddy bear maker, is trying to sell his late mother's house, helped by his estate agent Avigail (who thinks Charles is an imbecile). The prospective buyers: the fearsome Wang Shu - who has no desire to make idle chit-chat - and her downtrodden daughter, Ying Yue.During the twenty-minute viewing a huge number of things happen, although it is also entirely possible that nothing happens at all. Which is it? Can the world really turn on its axis during a mundane discussion about cheese preservation? Has fiction the power to do that? Should it even want to?__________________________________________'She really is a genius.? GUARDIAN?Life-affirming hilarity ? Evelyn Waugh on ecstasy.? NELL ZINK'A madly brilliant little book that asks who at any point is in control of what. I loved it.' DAILY MAIL?Nicola Barker?s wildness and capacity for the absurd often delight me.? SARAH MOSS?What an audacious writer Nicola Barker is ? In an era when plot is king, Barker has typically, joyously, dispensed with one ? Barker?s pleasure in the novella feels defiant.? EVENING STANDARD?I Am Sovereign is bursting with energy, compassion and humour.? LITERARY REVIEW?Barker is a writer in a class of her own ? A work of coruscating intelligence, of deep humanity.? OBSERVER?A riotous burst of a novel that scrutinises the nature of fiction with the lightest of touches.? MAIL ON SUNDAY?A bracing, brilliantly bonkers comic novel ? This is freewheeling fiction that delights in the visual.? SUNDAY TIMES?Barker?s writing is very, very funny, both ha ha and strange . Fans of Ali Smith?s ?Seasonal Quartet? will enjoy a similarly arch, detached view on the banality of contemporary Britain . A gloriously audacious blend of, well, the deep and the trite.?
