Описание и характеристики
Welcome to America. On the east coast, homes are being swallowed by the ocean; on the west coast, California is engulfed with wildfire.
But for one family, the impending environmental disaster is the least of their worries. Party girl Cat just impulse-purchased a snake; her pious brother Cooper is wrestling with a tic bite; and their mom Ottilie has resorted to cooking with crickets. Everyone is drinking too much – and the bugs seems to be disappearing. It seems as if it's anything but blue skies ahead...
A delightfully dark comedy of manners about family life at the end of the world, Blue Skies is a masterful new adventure from one of the America's great comic writers.
Голубые небеса (Бойл Т.С)
Неадаптированный текст.
Добро пожаловать в Америку. На восточном побережье дома поглощает океан; на западном побережье Калифорния охвачена лесными пожарами.
Но для одной семьи надвигающаяся экологическая катастрофа — наименьшая из их забот. Катя, любительница вечеринок, только что импульсивно купила змею; её набожный брат Купер борется с последствиями укуса клеща; а их мама Оттилия начала готовить с использованием сверчков. Все пьют слишком много — и, кажется, насекомые начинают исчезать. Похоже, впереди всё что угодно, но только не голубое небо...
Очаровательно тёмная комедия нравов о семейной жизни на краю света, "Голубое небо" — это мастерское новое произведение от одного из великих американских писателей-юмористов.
