This was quite boring and the language did nothing for me. ( ) This novel has an odor of flop sweat unique to the worlds of teevee and standup comedy, but it sure ain't no laughing matter. June, an assistant writer on a dying late night talk show, is whisked away to the home of Hugo Best, the over-the-hill talk show host, for a creepy weekend in Connecticut after his last show. It's a nightmare for them both - he's drowning in self-pity in his suburban dream palace and she's trying to figure out what she can get out of him to help her out of her now jobless state. The problem is that she hates doing stand-up, and that's basically all she can do, being too old to go back to her shit job as a page at Best's network. Both characters are completely unappealing, and I wasn't even interested enough to figure out who Hugo Best is IRL. Leave this one on the shelf. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"June Bloom is a broke, cynical twenty-nine-year-old writers' assistant on the late-night comedy show, Stay Up with Hugo Best. Hugo Best is in his sixties, a beloved icon of TV and humor, and a notorious womanizer. After he unexpectedly retires and a party is held for his now unemployed staff, June ends up at a dive bar for an open-mic night and prepares for the sad return to the anonymous comedian lifestyle. What she's not prepared for is a run-in with Hugo at that dive bar. Nor for the invitation that swiftly follows: Hugo asks June to come to his mansion in Greenwich for the long Memorial Day weekend. "No funny business," he insists. June, in need of a job and money, confident she can handle herself, but secretly harboring the remains of a childhood crush on the charming older comedian and former role model, accepts. The exact terms of the visit are never spelled out, but June is realistic and clear-eyed enough to guess. Even so, as the weekend unfolds and the enigmatic Hugo gradually reveals himself, their dynamic proves to be much more complicated and less predictable than she expected."-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
