Nigel Williams Bücher

Sie kennen Hugh Laurie? Dr. House? Genau, der mit dem schiefen, schlechtgelaunten Grinsen. Nun, was hat der mit Nigel Williams zu tun? Na ja, er verkörpert Paul Slippery in der englischen Verfilmung dieses Romans hier. Ähnlich wie Dr. House ist Slippery ein liebenswerter Kotzbrocken, der zielstrebig auf die Fünfzig zugeht, sich über seinen wachsenden Bauchumfang wundert und neidisch das ausgeprägte Sexualleben seiner Söhne beäugt. Die ganze Welt scheint sich gegen ihn verschworen zu haben. Was Nigel Williams daraus macht, ist ein Glanzstück des britischen Humors. Ich habe schon lange nicht mehr so einen Spaß gehabt wie bei diesem Roman. Markus Naegele, Lektorat

Warhol was an extremely public figure, but a very private person. His guardedness, offset by his desire to place himself in front of the media, has created a confounding situation. While Warhol masterfully presented a honed persona to the world, his façade also drove critics, fans, acquaintances, and perfect strangers to hunt for evidence of his personal life. As a result, many observers who did not directly know Warhol feel a personal claim to the white-wigged phenomenon and often refer to him as Andy. Rather than using Warhol s formal surname, his given name hints at heightened familiarity and understanding.

Focusing on the intergenerational transmission of memories, this book delves into how familial experiences shape social issues across generations. It introduces concepts like generational companionship and intergenerational mentalisation, emphasizing the interplay of continuity and discontinuity in individual lives. Utilizing sociological and psychoanalytic perspectives, it discusses the psychosocial approach's role in problem-solving and healing, while exploring the dynamics of creative and destructive forces. This work serves as a vital resource for students and scholars in various fields, including psychotherapy and memory studies.
