Taschenbuch. Kartoniert. Etat : Sehr gut. Taschenbucherstausgabe. 350 (2) Seiten. 18,7 cm. Umschlaggestaltung: Nina Rothfos & Patrick Gabler. Sehr guter Zustand. In Stars und Bars, auch mit Daniel Day-Lewis in der Hauptrolle verfilmt, kommt der schüchterne Henderson Dores als Kunstexperte nach New York und will nur eines: dazugehören. Aber Amerika, Land der durchgeknallten Millionäre, der Subwaypoeten, der bodenständigen Bibelfanatiker und der aufgemotzten Homeboys, Land der ungeschminkten Direktheit und der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten, macht es einem steifen Briten wie ihm nicht gerade einfach. Henderson könnte nie im Leben all die Hemmungen verlieren, um zu so einem merkwürdigen Amerikaner zu werden. Oder doch? - William Boyd, CBE (born 7 March 1952) is a Scottish novelist and screenwriter. Biography: Of Scottish descent, Boyd spent his early life in Ghana and Nigeria, in Africa. He was educated at Gordonstoun school, in Moray, Scotland; and then the University of Nice, France, the University of Glasgow, Scotland, and finally Jesus College, University of Oxford, England. Between 1980 and 1983 he was a lecturer in English at St Hilda's College, Oxford, and it was while he was there that his first novel, A Good Man in Africa (1981), was published. He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2005. He currently lives in London. Work - Novels: Boyd, who is of the same generation as Martin Amis, Julian Barnes and Ian McEwan, has been, some people believe, "overlooked" as a novelist, largely because he has kept a low public profile. Although his novels have been short-listed for major prizes, he has never had quite the same publicity as his contemporaries. Boyd was selected in 1983 as one of the 20 'Best of Young British Novelists' in a promotion run by Granta magazine and the Book Marketing Council. His novels include Brazzaville Beach (1991), about a female scientist researching chimpanzee behaviour in Africa; A Good Man in Africa, for which he won the Whitbread Book award and Somerset Maugham Award in 1981, and An Ice Cream War, for which he was nominated for the Booker Prize for Fiction in 1982. The book won the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize in the same year. Any Human Heart was long-listed for the Booker Prize in 2002. Restless was published October 3, 2006, and won the Novel Award in the 2006 Costa Book Awards. Screenplays: As a screenwriter Boyd has written a number of feature film and television productions. The feature films include: Stars and Bars (1988), adapted from his own novel; Mister Johnson (1990); A Good Man in Africa (1994), also adapted from his own novel; Scoop (1987), adapted from the Evelyn Waugh novel, and The Trench (1999) which he also directed. He was one of a number of writers who worked on Chaplin (1992). His television screenwriting credits include: Armadillo (2001), adapted from his own novel, Dutch Girls (1985) and Good and Bad at Games (1983), about English public school life. Hoax: In 1998, Boyd published Nat Tate: American Artist, 1928-1960, which presents the paintings and tragic biography of a supposed New York-based 1950s Abstract Expressionist painter named Nat Tate, who actually never existed and was, along with his paintings, a creation of Boyd's. When the book was initially published, it was not revealed that it was a work of fiction, and some were duped by the hoax; it was launched at a lavish party, with excerpts read by David Bowie (who was in on the joke), and a number of prominent members of the art world claimed to remember the artist. It caused quite a stir once the truth was revealed. The name Nat Tate is derived from the names of the two leading British art galleries: The National Gallery and The Tate Gallery. Nat Tate also appears in Any Human Heart, also by Boyd, with a wry footnote to the 1998 book. . Aus: wikipedia-William_Boyd. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 300.

Soft cover. Etat : As New. 1st Edition. Condition: (see pics.) The book is in like new condition and has not been read. Synopsis: Sharply observed and brilliantly plotted, Stars and Bars is an uproarious portrait of culture clash deep in the heart of the American South, by one of contemporary literature's most imaginative novelists. A recent transfer to Manhattan has inspired art assessor Henderson Dores to shed his British reserve and aspire to the impulsive and breezy nature of Americans. But when Loomis Gage, an eccentric millionaire, invites him to appraise his small collection of Impressionist paintings, Dores's plans quite literally go south. Stranded at a remote mansion in the Georgia countryside, Dores is received by the bizarre Gage family with Anglophobic slurs, nausea-inducing food, ludicrous death threats, and a menacing face off with competing art dealers. By the time he manages to sneak back to New York Citysporting only a cardboard boxHenderson Dores realizes he is fast on the way to becoming a naturalized citizen.
