Jasper Fforde Orden de los libros (cronológico)

In seinem »bisher ernüchterndsten und realistischsten Buch« (The Guardian) spielt der postmoderne Fantasy- und Bestseller-Autor Jasper Fforde alle Mechanismen von Rassismus und Xenophobie klug und unterhaltsam durch, und zwar in einer absurd-komischen Parallelwelt, die – abgesehen von vermenschlichten Kaninchen – der unseren doch erschreckend ähnelt. Das britische Dörfchen Much Hemlock, nah an der walisischen Grenze, war immer ein Hort des Friedens. Sauber. Traditionell. Die Menschen aufrecht und beflissen. Doch dann kommen sie. Mit ihrer seltsamen Religion, ihrer aggressiven veganen Agenda und viel zu vielen Kindern. Zwar geben sie sich ruhig und friedliebend, aber wer weiß, wie lange noch? »Sie« sind eine Familie vermenschlichter Ka­nin­chen – das Ergebnis eines unerklärlichen Ereignisses vor rund einem halben Jahr­hundert. Ihr Nachbar, der langjährige Dorfbewohner Peter Knox, muss sich entscheiden: Kann er Zaungast der Entwicklung bleiben und weiterhin eine ruhige Kugel bei der Rabbit Compliance Taskforce schieben oder soll er den neuen Nachbarn beistehen, denen, wie allen anderen 1,2 Millionen Kanin­chen im Ver­einigten Königreich, die Zwangsumsiedlung nach Wales droht?

Escondida en una mala novela, Caversham Heights, Thursday ayudará a la definitiva deconstrucción de la ficción narrativa. La aventura más loca y surrealista está servida.

G.

But when someone begins kidnapping characters from works of literature and plucks Jane Eyre from the pages of Brontë's novel, Thursday is faced with the challenge of her career. Fforde's ingenious fantasy—enhanced by a Web site that re-creates the world of the novel—unites intrigue with English literature in a delightfully witty mix.
