Аннотация
Acclaimed Belfast novelist Glenn Patterson's classic novel of a day in the life in that city: a funny, brilliantly observed, bittersweet snapshot of a moment in 1967 just before everything changed."e;If I had known history was to be written that Sunday in the International Hotel I might have made an effort to get out of bed before teatime."e;So begins The International. Danny Hamilton takes us back over three troubled decades to one wonderfully ordinary Saturday, in January 1967, when his 18-year-old self had no idea most people had no idea that ordinary days in Belfast would soon become tragically rare. Ordinary, but packed with extraordinarily observed characters; and extraordinary enough for Danny to fall in love twice (and think about sex a few more times than that). Ordinary, but when someone calls out "e;Be careful"e; in parting, no one takes it lightly and for good reason.First published in the UK in 1999, and reissued by Blackstaff in 2008, The International is a timeless novel: funny, bawdy, deftly crafted, and heartwrenchingly humane. Featuring an essay ';On Reading The International' by Man Booker-Prize winner Anne EnrightFrom the Trade Paperback edition.
