The Adulterants
Autor Joe Dunthorneen Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 feb 2018
Ray is not a bad guy. He mostly did not cheat on his heavily pregnant wife. He only sometimes despises every one of his friends. And though his career as a freelance tech journalist is dismal and he spends his afternoons churning out third-rate listicles in his boxer briefs, he dreams of making a difference. But Ray is about to learn that his special talent is for making things worse.
Brace yourself for a wickedly funny look at the modern everyman. The Adulterants is an uproarious tale of competitively sensitive men and catastrophic open marriages, riots on the streets of London and Internet righteousness, and one man's valiant quest to come of age in his thirties. With lacerating wit and wry affection, Joe Dunthorne dissects the urban millennial psyche of a man too old to be an actual millennial.

hilarious
Joe Dunthorne is one of our best young writers
Perfectly formed... a pin-sharp skewering of a certain type of modern urban thirtysomething male, trapped in a protracted adolescent state. It's one not to be missed
A sharp satire of contemporary London and the modern urban male
Blisteringly funny and brimming with caustic charm - a joyous diagnosis of our modern ills that made me laugh out loud even when it was breaking my heart
Dark, beautifully wry, and side-splittingly excruciating, The Adulterants is a triumph of voice and vision
A tale of modern manhood, full of malaise, melancholy and wryly funny observations
A richly illuminating comedy of disappointment, uproarious and mournful, that places Joe Dunthorne triumphantly in the tradition of Evelyn Waugh and (that other Swansea resident) Kingsley Amis. A deft, brilliant, surprising joyride
Joe Dunthorne's new book is a pleasure - I was very fortunate to get to read his book Submarine early and reading this one was equally thrilling. I owe him a great deal ( but refuse to repay him)
Smartly written, The Adulterants riffs on London's housing crisis, competitively sensitive men and social media with wry insight
A creation of some genius. Dunthorne is a naturally comic writer
Publisher's Description: Thirty-something freelance tech journalist Ray hates his job, resents his more successful friends, is terrified of the London property ladder, and has just accidently cheated on his pregnant girlfriend. But no matter how bad life seems, he's about to learn that things can always get worse... From the comic genius behindSubmarinecomes a hilariously scathing new novel about modern life
Dunthorne captures the mores of Britain today better than novelists twice his age
Brilliant and laugh-out-loud enjoyable
Insightful comic writing that manages to be both tender and biting
A brilliant first novel by a young man of ferocious comic talent
