Neal Pollack

    1 maart 1970

    Neal Pollack staat bekend om zijn kenmerkende stem, die humor, ironie en scherpe observaties van de Amerikaanse cultuur meesterlijk combineert. Zijn verhalen duiken vaak in thema's als identiteit, de zoektocht naar betekenis en de botsing tussen traditie en moderniteit. Pollacks proza is levendig en vol onverwachte wendingen, wat lezers een verfrissende en provocerende literaire ervaring biedt. Zijn unieke vermogen om diepgaande ideeën te verenigen met narratieve lichtheid maakt hem tot een memorabele auteur.

      From Junot Díaz, Lynda Barry, Gary Shteyngart, and Kate Christensen to popular up-and-comers like Dan Kennedy, Wendy McClure, and Brock Clarke, Love Is a Four-Letter Word is a dead-on contemporary collection of true stories of seduction, heartbreak, and regret. Fearlessly revealing their shattered hearts and crushed egos; their indiscretions and indignities; their delusions, desperation, and disappointments, these talented writers capture the dark side of love in prose ranging from comic to poetic, poignant to cringe-inducing. Also featuring three cartoon/ graphic essays as a sixteen-page color insert, this anthology is perfect for anyone who's ever loved and lost.

      With the publication of Alternadad, Neal Pollack became the spokesperson for a new generation of parents. Pollack, a self-styled party guy known mostly for outrageous literary antics, recounts how he and his wife became responsible parents without sacrificing their passion for pop culture. From an ill-fated family trip to the Austin City Limits Festival, to yanking his son out of an absurd corporate gymnastics class, to dealing with the child’s ongoing biting problem, Pollack captures the wonders, terrors, and idiocies of parenting today. Alternadad is both an engaging and amusing memoir of fatherhood, and a fascinating portrait of a new version of the American family.
