Opis

'Kneller's Happy Campers' is a strange, dark but funny tale set in a world very much like our own but it is an afterlife populated by people who have killed themselves. Many of them are young, and most of them bear the marks of their death bullet wounds, broken necks (those who have over-dosed are known as Juliets).

Recenzje

Etgar Keret's writing hits like a bullet. Kneller's Happy Campers is fast and bizarre and full of a fearless street-punk surrealism, as though Charles Bukowski is channelling the imagination of Lewis Carroll. The darkest fun I've read in ages Matt Haig
