After Darke
Autor Rick Gekoskien Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 apr 2023
Irascible, misanthropic, intensely bookish, fastidious in his tastes and rich enough to indulge them, Darke is a happy shut-in, busily writing oppositional pamphlets and composing a literary hoax. But his daughter and the Bulgarian housekeeper she hired to look after him have other ideas.
After Darke is a moving, witty reflection on grief, ageing and love in all its forms, and James Darke is one of the most memorable, exasperating yet loveable characters of contemporary fiction.

Recenzii
A riot of eloquent bigotry and bluster . . . What Gekoski excels at is the hard, witty, shouty - yes, masculine - business of creating a literary hero like James Darke.
Unbroken, unbowed and raging against the wokeness of the modern world
[A] masterpiece of negative catharsis. The novel's antihero, Dr James Darke - a reclusive, misanthropic bibliophile, filled with general rancour towards the world - gives paradoxical pleasure by venting so biliously on our behalf. For readers weary of earnest piety and emotion easily bought.
