Popis knihy

   Who Do You Think You Are? contains all the wit, verbal dexterity and spot-on satirical humour of Malcolm Bradbury’s finest novels, including the work that helped to define a generation, The History Man. In seven short stories he takes a subtly ironic look at a variety of targets; American academics, provincial Britain, the aspirations of social workers, psychologists, the well-intentioned . . . In addition he delights us with an irreverent and hilarious series of parodies of some of the greatest paradigms of the British and American literary scenes: a passage from Iris Murdoch’s little-known The Sublime and the Ridiculous; Muriel Spark (a whole novel); the fifth volume of Durrell’s 'Alexandria Quartet'; John Osborne; J.D. Salinger, and many more.
