Marcus Berkmann

    Marcus Berkmann je známy svojimi humornými postrehmi o bežnom živote. Jeho písanie, ktoré sa často zameriava na témy ako kriket, pub kvízy a prechod do stredného veku, vyniká suchým vtipom a sarkastickými, ale láskavými pozorovaniami. S obľubou sa venuje banalítam a spoločenským zvyklostiam, ktoré s neochvejnou presnosťou rozoberá, aby ukázal ich absurditu. Čitatelia si obľúbia jeho schopnosť nájsť humor v každodenných situáciách a podať ho s jedinečným, britským nádychom.

      Ashes To Ashes
    • For many men, middle age arrives too fast and without due warning. One day you are young, free and single; the next you are all washed up, and have weird tendrils of hair growing out of your ears. Marcus Berkmann isn't having it. Having marked a Significant Birthday by hiding under a duvet for six weeks, the author of the classic Rain Men finds some light in the all-consuming darkness. 'We may have lost our hair, our waistline or our way completely. But we have also gained a certain amount of guile and what some might call "gravitas" (and others world call "weight").'
