(P/B) AFTER THE FIREWORKS

Παρουσίαση

Told with all the humour and keen observation of Huxley's literary craft, this satirical novella by the author of "Brave New World" explores the dual notions of obsession and control.As an acclaimed novelist, Miles Fanning is well used to the unwanted attentions of his fans as he goes about his daily business. Yet little prepares him for the determination of the gauche Pamela Tarn who resolves to enter not only his world, but also his bed. Initially repelled by the enormity of the age gap between them, Fanning vows never to acquiesce, and resorts to his most boorish behaviour in an attempt to break the hold he unwittingly has over her.
Yet as they are inexorably drawn together, they embark upon a tempestuous - and ultimately destructive - affair. (From the publisher)
