For tiden er jeg i gang med at læse "A Spot Of Bother" af Mark Haddon. Mark Haddon som også er forfatter til "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time"- en af mine yndlingsbøger. "A Spot Of Bother" handler om en familie og alle de problemer de har med sig selv, og med hinanden. Det kan vel kaldes et familiedrama. Ligesom "The Curious Incident..." er "A Spot Of Bother" virkelig velskrevet og ikke mindst humoristisk.
Noget af det der har fanget mig indtil videre, er den måde hovedepersonen George observerer sine medmennesker på:

During thirty-five years on the fringes of the manufacturing industry George had worked with manly men of all stripes. Big men, men who could open beer bottles with their teeth, men who had killed people during active military service, men who, in Ted Monk's charming phrase, would shag anything that stood still for long enough. And though he had never felt entirely at home in their company, he had rarely felt cowed. But when Ray visited, he was reminded of being with his older brother's friends when he was fourteen, the suspicion that there was a secret code of manhood to which he was not privy.

Altså en rigtig fin bog indtil videre.

God søndag.
