Paperback. Condición: Very Good. A throwback 90's tale with a compellingly dysfunctional tennis-playing protagonist. Kirkus Reviews A deftly crafted and impressively original novel that will linger in the mind and memory long after the book itself is finished and set back on the shelf. Midwest Book Review It's 1996 and enigmatic tennis professional Richard Blanco is enjoying a late-career run, reaching the Wimbledon quarterfinals. What no one knows is that he's hearing voices again. It won't be long before the ghost of punk rocker Luke Scream starts whispering dark nothings in his ear. Over the summer, Blanco hopscotches the circuit from Los Angeles to the tennis academy where he's trained since childhood, but his brilliant play will be overshadowed by the escalating chatter in his head. By turns hilarious and dark, Moving in Stereo is a vivid portrayal of an athlete eyeing the end of his career while seeking the dignity that would make his dead father proud.★★★★★ Tom Trondson uses his considerable first-hand knowledge of professional tennis - its history, psychology, mores, and endorsement deals-for this seriocomic bildungsroman. His protagonist, Richard Blanco, is an erratic also-ran of the pro circuit: capable of winning on Centre Court but more likely to flame out spectacularly.

Condición: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 266 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Wimbledon 1996, and tennis journeyman Richard Blanco is enjoying a late career run of success. He reaches the quarter finals, and, partially due to the possibility that he might beat his nemesis Boris Becker, his agent scores him a million-dollar endorsement deal. Unknown to anyone but his complicated psychologist, Blanco is hearing voices--again. Soon, his long-dead friend Luke Scream, former front man for a punk band, will start injecting insanity into Blanco's father-ravaged psyche. Over this chemically infused summer Blanco plays some mature tennis, yet makes dangerous choices, like getting tied to a hotel bed, and becoming the plaything of a shrewd, unstable businesswoman, whose presence he hides from his down-to-earth stripper girlfriend. Moving In Stereo hopscotches the circuit--London, Los Angeles, New York--but when Blanco returns to his home academy in Florida, he faces a penis-shrinking threat from a charismatic rookie, destined to steal his mojo, and spiraling his impulsiveness to new levels of absurdity. Fans of J. P. Dunleavy and David Foster Wallace will love this book and demand more from Tom Trondson. Tom Trondson uses his considerable first-hand knowledge of professional tennis-its history, psychology, mores, and endorsement deals-for this seriocomic bildungsroman. His protagonist, Richard Blanco, is an erratic also-ran of the pro circuit: capable of winning on Centre Court but more likely to flame out spectacularly. Trondson has given us a persuasive, compelling bad boy: a caddish libertine and a haunted searcher who might be careening towards some sort of enlightenment.
