Elaine Dundy Poradie kníh (chronologicky)
Elaine Dundy bola autorkou s podmanivým pohľadom na svet a jeho absurdity. Jej diela zachytávajú pulzujúcu energiu a bohémskeho ducha povojnovej Paríža a Londýna, kde sama žila a tvorila. Prostredníctvom svojich románov a životopisov približovala čitateľom fascinujúce postavy a doby s bystrým vtipom a nezameniteľným štýlom. Dundyová majstrovsky preplietala fikciu s realitou a odhaľovala komplexnosť ľudských vzťahov a hľadanie identity.

Black comedy in the style of The Dud Avocado* 'Definitely demonic, exquisitely carved, deadly murderous comedy' Dawn Powell, Book Week
Elaine Dundy, a New Yorker born in the 1930s, is the author of The Dud Avocado, based on a year she spent in Paris. Here she presents her memoirs which begin in classy apartments on Park Lane before the Crash, include a wild and funny time as an actress in Paris and London, and reveal all about her disastrous marriage to theater critic Kenneth Tynan. Her literary and theatrical circle—which included Peter Finch, Tennesse Williams, Hemingway, and Gore Vidal—is presented along with poignant remembrances of growing up in America in the 40s, and a literary and theatrical life in Paris and London.
