This is a book about vulnerable animals and the humans who interact with them. And it's about us. Our pasts and our present, and the way we see the world • It's about the triumph of hope, our infinite capacities to endure and to love - and how we survive through the tales we tell • Most of all it's a story of homecoming told through a gorilla called Einstein who comes to us with a remarkable secret. He can communicate with humans through sign language • Interviews With An Ape is a work of imaginative daring, written with a direct simplicity yet deep insight. A novel of beginnings and endings, destruction and restoration, its many voices will linger long in the memory and in the heart

«Короткие интервью с подонками» – это столь же непредсказуемая, парадоксальная, сложная книга, как и «Бесконечная шутка». Книга, написанная вопреки всем правилам и канонам, раздвигаюшая границы возможностей художественной литературы. Это сочетание черного юмора, пронзительной исповедальности с абсурдностью, странностью и мрачностью. Отваживаясь заглянуть туда, где гротеск и повседневность сплетаются в единое целое, эти необычные, шокирующие и откровенные тексты погружают читателя в одновременно узнаваемый и совершенно чуждый мир, позволяют посмотреть на окружающую реальность под новым, неожиданным углом и снова подтверждают то, что Дэвид Фостер Уоллес был одним из самых значимых американских писателей своего времени

It was here at the Manor House that Norman Blood, captain of England, spent his childhood playing cricket with the vicar's radiant daughter, Monica. And it was she who presented young but poor Joe Prestwick with a belt on the occasion of his first game of cricket, saving his honour for as Sir Timothy Blood remarked, 'I would rather see the whole village dead at my feet than a man bowling in braces.' • With a short - but sensational - career behind him, Joe just needs to be selected to play at the Oval to win Monica's heart and her hand in marriage: everything depends on the Test • But The Bad Men, Europe's most wanted gang, have no intention of letting the best team win. Sawn-off Carlo, The Professor and Ralph the Disappointment (an Englishman who, knowing the rules of the Game, is eternally damned for not playing by them) plan to strike a blow at the very heart of proud Albion and her Empire
