Beschreibung
As his secret diary extends into his later teen years, the angsty Brit remains ';part Holden Caulfield, part ... Bertie Wooster' and all Adrian (The New York Times). Send my diaries back. I would hate them to fall into unfriendly, possibly commercial hands. I am afraid of blackmail; as you know my diaries are full of sex and scandal. What's happening to Adrian Mole? He's on the cusp of adulthood and burgeoning success as a published poet. But ... he still lives at home, refuses to part with his threadbare stuffed rabbit, and has lost his job at the library for a shocking act of impudence: He shelved Jane Austen under ';light romance.' Even worse, someone named Sue Townsend stole his diaries and published them under her own name. Of course they were bestsellers. The ';brilliant comic creation' returns, sharing his poetry (award-winning!), travel journals (he's going places), musings on lost love (more of an obsession), and some major news (he's writing a novel!) (The Times). But not all the confessions are his alone. We also hear from that notorious pilferer Townsend, who, after receiving a suspended prison sentence, now lives in shame in a bleak moorland cottage. Don't tell Adrian, but the New York Times Book Review still insists that it's she who ';is a national treasure.' From ';one of Britain's most celebrated comic writers' (The Guardian) comes the inventive new novel in the ';perceptive and funny' (The New York Times) series that has sold more than twenty million copies worldwide, was adapted for television and staged as a musical, and is nothing less than ';a phenomenon' (The Washington Post).
