Beschreibung
'A witty, sprawling story about life's big changes and the things that never change, told with style and smarts by a remarkable new voice' Town & Country This is the story of twenty-four hours in the life of an anxious 23-year-old called Natwest - and his desperate search for a missing package containing something secret and deeply embarrassing. It's also the story of all the people he encounters on this single day in his home town - from his mother to the dentist to the girl at the bus stop in a sticky situation - and how their very different lives are entwined with his own. 'It is a miracle to pull off 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 'It's impossible not to be charmed by this big-hearted story' Bustle 'Gobby, barbed and garrulous; a novel that takes swings, with swagger' Eley Williams 'Most books that claim to be funny aren't actually all that funny. How to Leave the House is a rare exception - genuinely hilarious, utterly obnoxious, impressively daring' Keiran Goddard, author of I See Buildings Fall Like Lightning
