Лауреат Букеровской премии Джулиан Барнс — один из самых ярких и оригинальных прозаиков современной Британии, автор таких международных бестселлеров, как "Одна история", "Шум времени", "Предчувствие конца", "Артур и Джордж", "История мира в 10½ главах", "Попугай Флобера" и многих других.

Тонкая стилизация и едкая ирония, утонченный лиризм и доходящий чуть ли не до цинизма сарказм, агрессивная жесткость и веселое озорство — Барнсу подвластно все это и многое другое.

From the creator of the beloved and universally acclaimed television series BoJack Horseman, a fabulously off-beat collection of short stories about love - the best and worst thing in the universe. Equally at home with the surreal and the painfully relatable (and both at once), Bob-Waksberg delivers a killer combination of humor, romance, whimsy, cultural commentary, and crushing emotional vulnerability.
