Out of this World

Softcover. English. Penguin. 1988. In fair condition. Out of This World interweaves the history of a blighted family with the tragic and ludicrous history of the twentieth century. Its alternating narrators are a father and daughter - each obsessed with the other and irrevocably estranged - surveying their losses and grievances on opposite sides of the Atlantic. A moving, ingenious and often very funny tale that takes us deep into his characters' wounded, resilient hearts with breathtaking virtuosity..rich, complicated, joyful, arresting.
