Beschreibung

"Tommy and Co." follows the story of a hack journalist who unexpectedly meets a mysterious and resourceful individual whose true identity is elusive, blurring traditional boundaries between gender and personality. The novel delves into their evolving relationship as the journalist grapples with the idea of taking this unique character into his care. At the outset, the protagonist is focused on his work when the peculiar figure enters his life, clad in mismatched clothing and exuding charm. Their interactions are marked by humor and misunderstandings, particularly surrounding the enigmatic character's offer to help with household chores while revealing a mix of childlike innocence and fierce independence. The protagonist, initially unsure and bewildered by the situation, gradually becomes intrigued by the idea of forming an unexpected bond. The story promises a delightful exploration of companionship and identity, contrasting individual quirks against societal expectations and norms, while developing the dynamic between the two characters in a humorous yet thought-provoking way.

Autor

Jerome K. Jerome was an English author and comedian who lived from 2 May 1859 to 14 June 1927. His humorous travelogue Three Men in a Boat is his most well-known work (1889). Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow, a collection of essays, is among the other works (1886-1927). The fourth child of Jerome Jones and Clapp, an ironmonger and lay preacher, was Jerome Clapp. Due to poor investments made in the local mining business, the family became impoverished. Jerome wanted to enter politics or become a man of letters, but he struggled to make ends meet. He tried his hand at acting in 1877 under the stage name Harold Crichton after being inspired by his older sister Blandina's passion for the theatre. He wedded Georgina Elizabeth Henrietta Stanley Marris in 1888, nine days after she separated from her first husband. In June 1927, Jerome experienced a paralytic stroke and brain hemorrhage. He spent two weeks in the Northampton General Hospital before passing away. At St. Mary's Church in Ewelme, Oxfordshire, Jerome was laid to rest. "For we are laborers with God," his gravestone reads.
