Travels With my Aunt

Meer over het boek

Here in this warm and far-ranging comic novel, a best seller when it first appeared in 1970, the indomitable Aunt Augusta travels with her black lover Wordsworth; Curran, the founder of a doggies' church; O'Toole, the CIA man obsessed by statistics and his counterculture daughter; and old Mr. Visconti, who has been wanted by Interpol for twenty years. Henry Pulling a retired bank manager with an interest in dahlias, unexpectedly caught up with them, describes their activities at first with shock and bewilderment and finally with the tenderness of a fellow traveler going their way.
