Author:Dave Eggers
The Wild Things by Dave Eggers is the novelisation of Maurice Sendak's classic
Max likes to make noise, get dirty, ride his bike without a helmet and howl like a wolf. In any other age he would have just been considered a boy. These days he is considered wilful and deranged.
After a row with his mother, Max runs away. He jumps into a boat and sails across the ocean to a strange island where giant and destructive beasts reign - the Wild Things. After almost being eaten, Max gains their trust, and he is made their king. But what will he do with the responsibility?
'A life-affirming delight' GQ
'Compelling, fantastical, engrossing' Shortlist
'Let the wild rumpus start!' Grazia
Dirty, greatly original, and very hard to stop reading
—— Jonathan FranzenHow To Sell is a bleak, funny, unforgiving novel about how we buy and sell everything - merchandise, drugs, sex, trust, power, peace of mind, religion, friendship, and each other. It's written extremely finely, with wit and enviable self-control. A genuinely fresh, disconcerting voice
—— Zadie SmithA relentless, clever, sordid novel about what lies at the heart of most transactions - sex and money
—— Francesca Segal , ObserverSmart, devious and sad
—— Catherine Taylor , GuardianThis book smells like a hit
—— VogueNeed a reason to reconsider buying a dubious Faberge egg this week? Try this tale of sex, drugs and dirty diamonds by a former jeweller (now philosophy professor), in which a young man is sucked into the depraved dark side of the high-end gems trade.
—— Lauren Laverne , GraziaWith this fast, dark novel, Clancy Martin shows there's no reason why a former jeweler who translates Nietzsche can't write like an angel on meth
—— BloombergA funny yet sad coming-of-age story
—— Jonathan Eyers , MetroA funny, quirky takedown of the American dream. A bastard child of John Updike and Mordechai Richler, How To Sell grabs you by the tuchus and doesn't let go
—— Gary ShteyngartSucceeds in the most important way a novel can: it makes a previously unimagined world as real as your own. A wonderful debut
—— John Niven, author of KILL YOUR FRIENDSA very good debut
—— Craig Raine , Times Literary SupplementA strange, dirty, inside look at the jewellery business which reads like a manic buying spree or a cocaine jag and ends so wrenchingly I still feel scarred by it
—— The Guardian, Jonathan Franzen
