‎The Wrong Boy‎

‎std plus spine as cover: Doubleday 2000. Hardcover. Used: Acceptable. Condition fair with dj SIGNED COPY ref ZKVQ Raymond Marks is a normal boy from a normal family in the northern town of Failsworth. Until on the banks of the Rochdale Canal the flytrapping craze begins and for Raymond nothing is ever quite so normal again. The novel takes the form of a series of letters to Raymond's hero - Morrissey. Amazon Review The Wrong Boy is the debut novel of Liverpudlian playwright Willy Russell famed for his plays-turned-films Educating Rita and Shirley Valentine and the West End musical stalwart Blood Brothers. Both Rita and Valentine were star-making roles and if and when The Wrong Boy makes it to the screen the main character Raymond is likely to have the same effect on one lucky young actor. Teenager Raymond Marks has not had a charmed life. His profligate instrument-loving father made an early exit leaving him with a struggling mother and doting Sartre-fan grandmother. Fifteen minutes of potential glory when he saved a boy from drowning are cruelly compromised when it's discovered that the boys were near the canal indulging in what they called "flytrapping" and Raymond becomes "the precocious pervert the evil influence the filthy little beast". Eventually packed off to "Gulag Grimsby" at the suggestion of his despised Uncle Jason Raymond pours out his life's woes in a series of missives to his idol one-time Smiths' star Morrissey. Writing his letters with improbable speed Raymond is ingratiating unstoppable and superbly miserable as befits a Morrissey devotee--and lucky enough to be surrounded by a bevy of gift-wrapped Northern character parts. Russell's genius is to take situations and characters that are firmly placed in the banally familiar--and then push them to their comic limits. In The Wrong Boy those limits are tested to the full. --Alan Stewart From the Publisher A master of the stage proves he's master of the novel THE WRONG BOY is perhaps surprisingly Willy Russell's first novel and it is not at all surprisingly a triumph of the art. As Alfred Hickling puts it in his review in The Guardian Willy Russell's novel is "expressed in unpretentious language which heavyweight critics in the words of his own educated Rita 'probably won't like because you can understand it'." However the majority of critics have liked it a lot: "Willy Russell has created a character in Raymond Marks the 'Wrong Boy' of the title to stand alongside his celebrated progeny Shirley Valentine and Rita.his real achievement is to present the exaggerated horrors of childhood and adolescence with an unusual wit and sympathy." STEPHANIE MERRITT The Observer "The Wrong Boy shows that he's still got that magic touch.With a dead pan delivery that Alan Bennett would be proud of and a grasp of the teenage psyche not seen since the creation of Adrian Mole this is one for square pegs in round holes everywhere." ANDREA HENRY The Mirror "Willy Russell's first novel is warm funny and poignant." JESSICA MANN Sunday Telegraph "Unusual funny unsettling and rich with sadness The Wrong Boy manages to work on a multitude of levels. It also showcases Russell's gift for sinking deep into the minds and motivations of his characters offering a voice to the dispossessed. Russell can now add the label of novelist to the tags of playwright lyricist and composer. Onec again he has proved himself to be a multi-faceted Renaissance man."

‎Willy Haas. Die Begegnung mit Indien als Exilort. Jyoti Sabharwal / Europäische Hochschulschriften / Reihe 1 / Deutsche Sprache und Literatur ; Bd. 2039‎

‎Frankfurt, M. : PL Acad. Research, 2013. 141 S. Originalbroschur.‎

‎Titelblatt fast lose. - Die erste Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts brachte infolge des Hitlerfaschismus die größte Vertreibung von Menschen in der bisherigen Geschichte Europas mit sich. Im Ausmaß ist diese übertroffen nur von der Menschenflucht als Folge der Teilung des Subkontinents in Indien und Pakistan 1947. Beide Ereignisse waren Manifestationen des Imperialismus und des Kolonialismus in der Neuzeit, beide erzeugten einen Literaturkorpus, etikettiert als Exilliteratur im deutschsprachigen Europa und als Partition Literatur auf dem südasiatischen Subkontinent. In diesem Buch über das Exil von Willy Haas in Indien zerfließen die Schnittstellen dieser historischen Entwicklungen, um aufzuzeigen, wie einzelne Biographien durch besondere Momente in der Geschichte beeinflusst werden. Diese Mikrostudie über das Exil in einer asiatischen Kolonie des Britischen Imperiums kann auch als eine Folge der neuen interdisziplinären Ansätze und der erweiterten Exilforschung auf außereuropäische und außeramerikanische Exilorte des frühen 21. Jahrhunderts betrachtet werden. Die Ausweitung führt zu neuen Impulsen für die repräsentativen Konzepte um Genre und Topoi der Exilliteratur. Darüber hinaus ergänzt diese Mikrostudie das Quellenmaterial der Exilgeschichte. ISBN 9783631641071‎
