Condition: Sehr gut. Taschenbucherstausgabe. 187 (5) Seiten. 19 cm. Umschlaggestaltung: Buchholz / Hinsch / Hensinger. Sehr guter Zustand. "Direkt und zugleich entrückt- beides wunderbar balancierend, ist A. L. Kennedy ein kleines Meisterwerk gelungen." Bernhard Schlink. Mrs. Brindle führt in ihrer schottischen Heimatstadt Glasgow ein trauriges Dasein. In einer unerträglichen Endlosschleife aus Putzsucht, Lethargie und ungelebten Träumen verdämmern ihre Tage. Mehr und mehr gehen Mrs. Brindle dabei die Sinne aus. Die Ehe mit Mr. Brindle erwies sich ebenfalls buchstäblich als Fehlschlag, Schläge jedenfalls sind das, was der rohe und gefühllose Gatte am besten beherrscht. Selbst Gott, Mrs. Brindles großer Tröster vergangener Tage, scheint das Interesse an ihr verloren zu haben. Im täglichen Fernseheinerlei entdeckt unsere Heldin eines Tages die Ratgebersendung des populären Psychologieprofessors Edward E. Gluck. Ihn verklärt sie fortan zur Projektionsfläche ihrer geheimen Sehnsüchte, zum Erlöser ihrer Traurigkeit. Während der Psychoguru auf einem Kongress in Stuttgart weilt, setzt Mrs. Brindle alles auf eine Karte und reist ihm hinterher. Die beiden begegnen sich und die verzweifelte Suche der Frau nach Wahrhaftigkeit und Liebe beginnt bei dem larmoyanten Weltmann, der sich anfänglich nur wohlwollend therapeutisch herablassend gibt, langsam Wirkung zu zeigen. Eine fragile, immer inniger werdende Beziehung entsteht. - Alison Louise Kennedy (* 22. Oktober 1965 in Dundee, Schottland; Namensform als Autorin: A. L. Kennedy) ist eine britische Schriftstellerin. Leben: A. L. Kennedy wuchs in Dundee auf und studierte von 1983 bis 1986 an der University of Warwick im englischen Coventry (Abschluss Bachelor of Arts im Fach Theatre Studies and Drama). Sie lebte lange in Glasgow; 2012 zog sie nach London, 2016 nach Wivenhoe. Ihre Romane und Erzählungen finden auch in Deutschland eine große Leserschaft sowie Anerkennung bei der Kritik. Bis auf Einladung zum Tanz sind sie alle in Übersetzungen von Ingo Herzke im Verlag Klaus Wagenbach bzw. im Carl Hanser Verlag erschienen. A. L. Kennedy wurde u. a. mit dem Somerset Maugham Award ausgezeichnet. In ihren Werken verbindet sie oft harten Realismus mit fantastischen Elementen. Komisches und Ernstes, zarte und brutale Momente stehen dicht nebeneinander. Mitunter verwendet sie auch religiöse Anspielungen. Ihr umfangreichster Roman Alles was du brauchst thematisiert unter anderem das Schreiben selbst und den Literaturbetrieb. Gelegentlich tritt A. L. Kennedy auch mit Stand-up-Comedy auf. Sie ist eine scharfe Kritikerin der britischen Beteiligung am Irak-Krieg unter Premierminister Tony Blair und war Rednerin bei Anti-Kriegs-Demonstrationen. Zeitweilig betätigte sie sich auch als Kolumnistin für die Zeitung The Guardian. Von 2002 bis 2007 unterrichtete sie Creative Writing als part-time Lecturer an der University of St Andrews in Schottland, seit 2007 als Associate Professor an der University of Warwick. Viele ihrer Texte erschienen als Hörspiel, auch schrieb sie speziell für dieses Radioformat. Für den Südwestrundfunk (SWR) etwa schrieb sie bisher die Originalhörspiele Blood Empire und Love, Love, Love wie die Beatles. Ihr erstes Originalhörspiel Born a Fox entstand 2004 für die BBC und wurde 2012 unter dem Titel Born a fox Als Fuchs geboren und unter der Regie von Iris Drögekamp für den SWR produziert. Verfilmung: Sven Taddicken hat mit Martina Gedeck und Ulrich Tukur in den Hauptrollen Original Bliss, auf deutsch Gleißendes Glück verfilmt. Der englische Titel spielt auf Original Sin, die Erbsünde an und verweist auf die Konflikte der Heldin. . . . Aus: wikipedia-A._L._Kennedy. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 194 Taschenbuch. Kartoniert. Laminiert. Glanzfolienkaschierung.
