Seller's Description:
London. 1993. Macmillan. 1st British Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0333569814. 190 pages. hardcover. Jacket illustration by Christopher Corr. keywords: Literature South Africa England. FROM THE PUBLISHER-From the author of Serenity House, that subversive retelling of Jack the Giant Killer, shortlisted for the 1992 Booker Prize, comes the funniest portrayal of the ways and days of childhood since Jack was a lad. It is the early fifties, in Badminton, a suburb suspended in time, somewhere outside Johannesburg. Its street-names recall British kings and queens. In their dusty gardens ex-soldiers relive the Desert War, and children study their odd elders with quizzical eyes. But with the arrival of Nathan J. Swirsky, this small-town dreamscape erupts. Swirsky the pink volcano, moustache pressed beneath his nose like a pirate's throwing knife. Swirsky the magic pharmacist, with his dazzling window displays of medicinal medieval castles and cough-drop Christmas cribs. Swirsky with his loose talk of exotic travels in faraway, forbidden places. It should have been paradise. It was, until the arrival of Ruthie, Swirsky's new wife, the songbird from Wimbledon, England. A glint in her eye, operetta in her heart. In alarmed delight, the children of Badminton watch the rise and fall and unlikely resurrection of Nathan J. Swirsky. In Swirsky's Love Songs, Christopher Hope has created a comic gem-tender, poignant and hilarious. inventory #24246.
