The Devil's Carousel
Jeff Torrington
Minerva 1997. Pocket 226 sidor. Mycket gott skick.
ISBN 0749397624
"He does for Glasgow what James Joyce did for Dublin". Daily Telegraph
Following his Whitebread award-winning Swing, Hammer Swing, Jeff Torrington invites you to visit the assembly lines at the Centaur Car Company. There you will meet Curly Brogan, who, for a hoax, fakes his own death with devastating consequences; Wormsley, the cuckolded nut-and-bolt man; and the Maritans from the top management, and watch what happens when the Devil turns up to claim his own.
"The Devil's arousel attests to a man who is cresting the apex of his powers… magical, a funfair ride on a comi-tragic spiral, a drop through darkness, festooned en route with the blazing carnival lights of defiant resilient wit, a cry of laughter at once sardonic, sweet and ambiguous... here is a writer with maximum staying power and talent." Scotland on Sunday.
"A hugely enjoyable rage against the machine of modern working. He uses comedy as a precision tool to create memorable anecdotes about the corrosive effect of Henry Ford's diabolical creation on the human soul." Sunday Times.
