Danny Mcbride: Thrilling Tales of Modern Men, Gebunden

Klappentext

An addictive, unpredictable, darkly hilarious collection of stories from Danny McBride---the beloved creator and star of The Righteous Gemstones and Eastbound & Down .
There are many sides to Danny McBride: He's starred as the iconic character Kenny Powers in the cult classic HBO show Eastbound & Down, a series he also wrote and created---just as he did with Vice Principals and The Righteous Gemstones. He's produced horror films (Halloween) and starred in sci-fi (Alien: Covenant). And ever since he was young, he's been writing short fiction.

An amateur magician gets in way over his head with a deadly stunt in a local mall. A washed-up sitcom actor takes revenge on the coyote who killed his dog. Two young runaways decide to part ways, but not before embarking on one last big adventure.

Hilarious, razor-sharp, unexpectedly emotional, and full of wild twists and turns, the stories in Thrilling Tales of Modern Men are like nothing else. And yet they have one thing in common---each probes the fragile masculinity that has become an inescapable part of modern American culture. In this audacious and unforgettable debut collection, McBride redefines the tale of the modern man.
