Turnabout

The Night Life of the Godsby Thorne SmithThorne Smith's rapid-fire dialogue, brilliant sense of the absurd, and literary aplomb put him in the same category as the beloved P. G. Wodehouse.

The Thorne Smith Three-bagger

Topper (逍遙鬼侶)

Mr. Owens liv har været ensomt og elendigt, men da han en regnfuld sommerdag kommer gående ned ad gaden i trist og håbløst humør, bliver han pludselig hevet igennem en døråbning og ind i en fantastisk verden med en endeløs strøm af alkohol, smukke kvinder og vilde eventyr. "Sommeregn" er Thorne Smiths vidunderlige historie om drømme, man ikke tør drømme, men som alligevel går i opfyldelse. Bogen er skrevet i og med samtidens sprog og retskrivning. Thorne Smith (1892-1934) var en amerikansk forfatter, der var kendt for sine mange humoristiske fantasyromaner fyldt med overnaturlige fænomener og forvandlinger. Thorne Smith var ligeledes kendt for at skrive bøger, hvor det ikke skortede på sex og indtagelse af alkohol – og ironisk nok blev hans bøger solgt i flere millioner eksemplarer i 1930‘ernes USA, der var præget af blandt andet alkoholforbud.

Sommerregn
