meki povez
stanje: vrlo dobro

A very hip, intelligent thriller set in London in the interweaving worlds of t.v., fashion, acting and the restaurant business. The narrator, Conrad, is telephoned by his ex-girlfriend Lily (a model/ actress), by whom he has been dumped six weeks before. He jumps at the chance to have dinner with her, after her original date has cancelled. As they sit talking at the restaurant, a bicycle courier enters, pulls out a very large gun, and shoots Lily dead. He then fires three shots at Conrad, leaving him for dead too. Six months later, Conrad leaves hospital. But the police won`t tell him anything.
Toby Litt is the foremost young lion of British hip-lit. Corpsing is sexy, full of twists and wickedly funny. Litt will have you racing through the book to discover who murdered Lily, and why. Along the way, you will learn everything you didn`t want to know about the .40 European self loading Pistol, and how the human body is made of fifty-five jellyfish, all piled on top of each other, waiting to meet a bullet.

Toby Litt, born in 1968, lives in East London. With film rights sold to Hollywood, mass market success in England, Corpsing`s entrance to the American market is overdue.
