John Van De Ruit: Spud, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

It is 2003 - ten years since 'Spud' Milton's class of 93 finished school. Despite their unbreakable bond, the Crazy Eight have lost touch. An invitation to their ten-year reunion weekend at the school triggers an unsettling tumult of emotions for Spud. He's sure he won't go, hardened by the prospect of revealing a decade of spectacular non-achievement to his former, privileged classmates.

At twenty-eight, Spud is stuck in a one-third life crisis: his glittering theatre career has stalled before it's even begun, he still doesn't have a girlfriend, and circumstances have forced him to move back in with his parents and his senile grandmother, Wombat, whose walks never end where they begin.

But powerful machinations are already at work. A bombardment of messages and darkly threatening phone calls from unknown numbers sees his resistance begin to crumble and his curiosity piqued. It's just a weekend, after all . . . what else could possibly go wrong?

The Crazy Eight are back. From John van de Ruit,Spud: The Reunion is a riotous trip down memory lane ten years in the making. Featuring all the signature wit and "catastrophic nostalgia" of the original series, this is the hilarious, adult chapter Spud's fans have been waiting for.
