For the first time in Russian is the newest novel by a recent Booker Prize winner, a prominent British writer and columnist, and a popular TV presenter. Jacobson's many awards include the Wodehouse Prize, awarded for best humorous work; when critics called him “the English Philip Roth,” he replied: “No, I’m the Jewish Jane Austen.” So, meet Guy Ableman. He is head over heels in love with his wife Vanessa, a fiery redheaded beauty, but also has deep feelings for her glamorous mother, Poppy. Vanessa and Poppy don't look like a daughter and mother - more like sisters. They mercilessly disturb Guy's peace, inspiring him to come up with hundreds of risky stories, but preventing him from recording them on paper. After all, Guy is a writer, the author of the cult novel “Monkey Fornication.” A writer in a world in which the habit of reading is dying, publishers are committing suicide, and literary agents are hiding from their own clients. But even if, as they say, literature is dead, passion is as alive as ever - and Guy will fully know its value...
