| Zusammenfassung: | "Frances, tired of winter and dark days, dreams about the tattooed man who won't make her plead for love. Her husband, Joey, a gaunt and haggard boy of forty, chops down the Tree of Heaven she has lovingly planted, and dreams of a fat wife in an apron cooking bacon, eggs and fried bread for his breakfast. Aaron, their son, dreams of the Libyan bombings, of planes and explosives. Fat Mia, the baby, is sublimely indifferent. Only Nat-Nat, womanly and wise beyond her years, doesn't dream. Night Night is an exhilarating fantasy that interweaves domestic shambles with a menacing parable for the bewildered eighties - a funny surburban nightmare about loss of faith and loss of direction. When Joey gives up his struggle to be a painter for the more financially rewarding work of a commercial artist, his world seems secure. Yet superficial prosperity doesn't hide a lurking malaise that climaxes with a random bomb threat to their home. As the neighbourhood empties to the village hall, and a panoply of superbly imagined, heartbreakingly real characters unfolds, Joey stands to guard his house and meet his fate." Klappentext |
