Nick Hornby: High Fidelity, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Kurzbeschreibung

Darf man mit Leuten befreundet sein, deren Plattensammlung hauptsächlich aus Tina-Turner-Alben besteht? Kann man eine Frau lieben, deren bevorzugte Band die Simple Minds sind? Ist es besser, in einer schmuddeligen Wohnung voller alter Platten und CDs zu leben, oder sollte man lieber eine Familie gründen? Diese und andere Fragen stellt sich Rob, 35 Jahre alt, Besitzer eines nicht gerade florierenden Londoner Plattenladens, und einige dieser Fragen kann er am Ende der Geschichte sogar beantworten. Der Engländer Nick Hornby schrieb einen ebenso komischen wie traurigen Roman über die Liebe, das Leben und die Popmusik. Do you know your desert island, all-time, top five most memorable split-ups? Rob does. He keeps a list, in fact. But Laura isn't on it - even though she's just become his latest ex. He's got his life back, you see. He can just do what he wants when he wants: like listen to whatever music he likes, look up the girls that are on his list, and generally behave as if Laura never mattered. But Rob finds he can't move on. He's stuck in a really deep groove - and it's called Laura. Soon, he's asking himself some big questions: about love, about life - and about why we choose to share ours with the people we do.
