| Zusammenfassung: | Tom Richards has fallen from the crane while directing his latest film, 'The Hamburger Girl'. But he is now in hospital with broken ribs and a fractured hip, and a new director has taken his place. The screenplay, even the title, has been changed. Tom feels redundant and angry. As an array of nurses and relations pass in and out of his hospital bedroom, his real life and his imaginative life, as expressed in the films he directs, become inextricably intertwined, even inter-changeable. He is obsessed by the image of a girl, 'a girl I saw one day on a campsite in France. I stopped for a coffee at a stall on the edge of the camp. A girl was making hamburgers. She was nothing much, just a girl. But I saw her in a frame. When I see people in frames I know I want to make a film of just that picture... The charm of this girl is that she has no history.'. 'Then she isn't real,' said his friend Dave, the taxi driver. 'No she's not real, not yet.' Tom and his wife Claire; their daughter Marigold for whom Tom has ambivalent feelings; his daughter Cora by his first marriage, beautiful and 'the apple of her father's eye': they and their family and friends jostle for the reader's attention in a sexual merry-go-round which overlays the hate, ambition and desires of some of its participants, leading to an unexpected violent ending |
