Super Host: the charming, compulsively readable novel of life, love and loneliness

Autor Kate Russo
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 apr 2022
'Sometimes Jeff wonders if his ex-wife ever goes on to AirBed to read his reviews. Probably not. She left a year ago to live in America with a hedge fund manager, taking with her the steady salary that, until the divorce, had been paying their bills. That's when Bennett decided to move into the studio at the end of the garden and rent-out the family home on AirBed. He doesn't think his Super Host status would impress Eliza. Almost nothing impressed her'

Recenzii

Exploring identity, creativity and second chances, Russo's midlife drama is wise, tender and surprising
Brimming with...pure affection
Funny, sharp, and artistic...A wonderful book flanked with irony, perversity, Rear Window voyeurism, and women who understand the task of reinvention, Super Host is a case study of what we talk about when we talk about success

In Russo's charming and poignant debut...the author writes with warm sympathy and humour. A treat for fans of Nick Hornby and Tom Perrotta
This is the compulsively readable story of Bennett, a once-famous artist now divorced and impoverished, who lives in his garden studio and spies on his tenants through the windows. Super Host is hilarious, and touching, too; Kate Russo is a terrific storyteller.
I gobbled up Super Host, Kate Russo's smart, funny, and surprising first novel. She writes with such a generous and insightful eye about love, loneliness and artistic ambition, and has redrawn the lines that connect people in fiction through the most modern and unlikely of settings, the home share.
Kate Russo's debut Super Host is pure delight-smart, fun, poignant, and deeply satisfying. I loved it
Super Host isn't just a charming, compulsively readable, romantically suspenseful novel about a lonely man who gets himself emotionally enmeshed with a series of short-term tenants. Kate Russo's wise and funny debut also has a lot to say about the courage it takes to start over in the middle of your life. It's a joy from start to finish.
Bennett Driscoll is a Turner Prize-nominated artist who was once a rising star. Now, his wife has left him, he hasn't sold a painting in two years, and his gallery wants to stop selling his work. Left with a large West London home and no income, he's forced to move into his artist's studio in the garden and list his house on a popular rental site.

A stranger in his own home, Bennett struggles to find purpose in his day-to-day. That all changes when three different guests unwittingly unlock the pieces of himself that have been lost to him for too long.
