Jennie Erdal

Ghosting (eBook, ePUB)

A Double Life

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A remarkable account of one woman's life - or, to be more accurate, lives.

For fifteen years, Jennie Erdal led a double existence; officially she worked as a personal editor for one particular man - Tiger - but in reality she was his ghost-writer and in some mysterious sense his alter ego. Ghosting is a meditation on words, identity and creativity, but above all it is a portrait of a uniquely intimate relationship between a man and a woman.

"A beautifully composed memoir; sometimes rather desperate, sometimes very funny, of an extraordinary symbiotic relationship between two very different people." Mail on Sunday

"An unusually rich and entertaining memoir - hilarious, infuriating and unforgettable." Daily Telegraph

"Original, thoughtful, and often very funny." Sunday Telegraph

"Read this delightful book." The Economist

"I was mesmerised ... a riveting, funny story." Mariella Frostrup

" A very funny book." Financial Times

"Erdal's Tiger is engagingly, ferociously authentic ... a character study in the tradition of the realist novel." Blake Morrison
