The Clothes They Stood Up In
The Clothes They Stood Up In | Alan Bennett
6 posts | 7 read | 1 reading | 4 to read
The Clothes They Stood Up In is Alan Bennett's first story. Like Charles Dickens' novels which were first published in magazines, it originally appeared in the London Review of Books - which the author says 'seems to me (and not just because I occasionally contribute to it) the liveliest, most serious and also the most radical literary periodical we have'.

Mehso-so

Nun ja. Es ist ein Bennett. Ja. Er ist auch zum Teil lustig, aber er ist nicht so ganz mein Geschmack. Ich fand die anderen beiden Bücher viel besser. Der schwarze Humor ist definitiv da, aber die Ironie war mir nicht gut genug.

Well. It's a Bennett. Yes. It's sometimes funny, but not my style. I liked the other two books even more. The humour is settled but the irony wasn't that good this time.

Maike Mmmmmh, vielleicht überspring ich den dann lieber ? 7y
Sarah83 @Maike Wie gesagt, es ist mein Geschmack, aber manche Dinge fand ich einfach nicht so toll. Besonders der Schluss hat es mir nicht angetan. 🤔 aber eins hab ich noch. Vielleicht ist das besser 😍 7y

Si sentiva come derubata due volte: la prima, dei suoi averi; la seconda, della possibilità di superarne la perdita.

Il libro capace di far compagnia senza far male anche in periodi di melma come questo. È sufficientemente assurdo da staccare dalla realtà, surreale, divertente, scorrevole. Un toccasana, seriamente.

Bennett can say so much in so few pages! It makes you wonder why other authors need so many hundreds of pages.

When you can't seem to settle on a book, Alan Bennett is always good and only 52 pgs is even better!
