Sinopse

“Profound—and profoundly sidesplitting.”—Bobby Finger, The New York Times

It's Natwest's last day before he leaves for university, and there's only one thing on his mind: the deeply embarrassing package he ordered to his house—which still hasn't arrived. He won't leave town without it. Any alternative is too distressing to consider. . .

This is the story of twenty-four hours in the life of Natwest, and his small-town odyssey in pursuit of the missing package. And yet it's also the story of a middle-aged dentist who dreams of being a respected artist—but the only thing he can seem to paint is the human mouth. And it's the story of a tortured imam involved in a quasi-romantic entanglement with the local vicar; and an octogenerian mourning the death of her secretive husband; and a troubled teenager whose nudes have leaked on the internet. It's the story of Natwest's obnoxious ex-boyfriend, and his class-traitor mother and her childhood boyfriend, and the life-changing secrets he knows about Natwest's past.

Alternating between Natwest's idiosyncratic inner world and the perspectives of the other characters—and dazzling in its energy, imagination and originality—this is an outrageously funny and tenderly moving story about being connected to everyone and everything at all times; about love, friendship, and the lies we tell ourselves; about unhappy endings, happy endings—and whether anything really is as simple as one or the other.

Resumo da Crítica

“It is a miracle to pull of the feat of being wickedly scabrous (incurring in this reader loud snorts of laugher throughout) and managing somehow to be generous and ultimately warm-hearted too; a miracle that Nathan Newman pulls off brilliantly. What a debut.”—Stephen Fry, actor and comedian

“Newman weaves the analytical and the absurd with a raucous grace. . .How to Leave the House is generous and witty, as bewitched by aesthetics as it is certain of the virtues of good old-fashioned compassion. . . .Profoundand profoundly sidesplitting.”—Bobby Finger, The New York Times

“I tore through, and already can’t wait to read again. . . .If you like stories about messy queer twenty-three-year-olds, and if you also like a twenty-first century take on English village life, and if you also have the Internet, you’re going to need to read this book.”—Andrea Lawlor, author of Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl
