Marcus Berkmann Boeken
Marcus Berkmann staat bekend om zijn humoristische observaties van het dagelijks leven. Zijn schrijfstijl, die zich vaak richt op thema's als cricket, pubquizzen en het ouder worden, wordt gekenmerkt door droge humor en sarcastische, maar hartelijke inzichten. Hij ontleedt met onwrikbare precisie de details van sociale gewoonten en routines, waarbij hij hun inherente absurditeit blootlegt. Lezers zullen zijn talent waarderen om komedie te vinden in het alledaagse en dit te presenteren met een uniek Brits gevoel voor nuance.
The most hilarious book ever written about amateur cricket.

The pains of the ageing cricketer revealed in the hilarious sequel to RAIN MEN (about the appalling Captain Scott Invitation XI - named after the model of heroic failure).
For many men, middle age arrives too fast and without due warning. One day you are young, free and single; the next you are all washed up, and have weird tendrils of hair growing out of your ears. Marcus Berkmann isn't having it. Having marked a Significant Birthday by hiding under a duvet for six weeks, the author of the classic Rain Men finds some light in the all-consuming darkness. 'We may have lost our hair, our waistline or our way completely. But we have also gained a certain amount of guile and what some might call "gravitas" (and others world call "weight").'
