Krátky popis
The Patrick Melrose Novels hilariously dissect the English upper
class, conjuring a world of decadence, amorality, greed, snobbery,
and cruelty, but never without the possibility of grace. Taken
together, they are one of the most thrilling reading experiences in
contemporary fiction. Edward St.Aubyn chronicled the life of
Patrick Melrose across five short novels, painting an acrid
portrait of a beleaguered and self-loathing world of privilege.
Never Mind unfolds over a day and an evening at the family’s
chateau in the south of France, where the sadistic and terrifying
figure of David Melrose dominates the lives of his rich and unhappy
American wife, Eleanor, and their five-year-old son, Patrick. Bad
News opens as Patrick, now twenty-two years old, sets off to
collect his father’s ashes from New York, where he will spend a
drug-crazed twenty-four hours.Back in England, Some Hope offers
Patrick the possibility of recovery (and the most debauched and
riotous dinner party in contemporary fiction). The
Booker-shortlisted Mother’s Milk returns to the family chateau,
where Patrick, now married and a father himself, struggles with
child rearing, adultery, his mother’s desire for assisted suicide,
and the loss of the family home. At Last, set over the single day
of a funeral, is the stunning final volume.
