I thoroughly enjoyable read and now means I've read all the novels by Tom Sharpe over the years. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Wilt (5)
Stuck in a job he doesn't want - but can't afford to lose - as nominal Head of the Communications Department at Fenland University, Wilt is still subject to the whims of The Powers That Be, both in and outside of work. The demands of his snobbish wife Eva, and the stupendous school fees of his despicable quadruplet daughters, cause him the biggest headaches... apart from the hangovers, that is. When Eva signs him up for a summer job, teaching the gun-toting idiot son of a lusty local aristocrat, Wilt is not amused. But, as circumstances unravel and the summer goes on, Wilt sees that the situation could be put to his financial advantage, as well as giving Eva some headaches of her own. With Tom Sharpe's famous dark humour in full evidence, and an explosive plot which takes its readers to places they never realised they wanted to visit, The Wilt Inheritance is another instant classic from the British master of farce.

Wilt sigue ganando lo mismo que antes, o incluso menos; es menospreciado por no ser catedrático y continua enseñando a los eternos proletarios de siempre. Y capea como puede las espesas intrigas y luchas por el minúsculo poder académico. En casa, la cosa no está mucho mejor. Eva, su esposa, tras visitar a sus tíos de América, ha vuelto más iracunda, imperiosa y mandona que antes. Y las cuatrillizas, feroces adolescentes, dignas descendientes de su madre –y también de su padre, aunque este reniegue de su progenie-, estudian en un carísimo internado que a Wilt se le hace cuesta arriba pagar. Muy arriba. En una de las novelas más esperadas, Tom Sharpe, el misántropo más divertido
de la literatura contemporánea, continúa con las desopilantes aventuras del inefable Wilt, de su tremebunda esposa, de su tremenda descendencia y, claro está, de la –¿incalificable?– sociedad que habitan.
