Imago Bird
Acerca deste livro eletrónico
Bert, a sharp-witted eighteen-year-old, tries to make sense of the grown-up world around him: a colorful crowd of television personalities, politicians, pop stars, and unconventional relatives. A nephew to the prime minister of England, he spends his days with his Aunt Mavis, an alcoholic often found drinking in the nude, and his Trotskyite girlfriend—all while being followed by his uncle’s security men. With the help of a laconic psychoanalyst, Bert questions the relation between exterior and interior reality, and language's ability to convey these connections. Imago Bird is a wildly humorous coming-of-age novel that questions art's ability to communicate.
