"In "The Tourists," Jeff Hobbs introduces us to a world where educated and ambitious young Manhattanites compete for the ultimate souvenirs. It's a world where sexual power trumps intimacy, status counts for more than self-awareness -- and achievement takes the place of accountability. This is an intriguing, unnerving novel, embedded with devastating secrets gradually revealed." -- Amanda Filipacchi, author of "Love Creeps", "With a deft hand, Jeff Hobbs goes deep into the core of young New York, gracefully detailing the longings, hunger, and achingly realistic heartbreaks of a generation at loose ends. "The Tourists" is a captivating debut." -- Allison Lynn, author of "Now You See It", "As they struggle through life in the city, these characters orbit success -- and each other -- dangerously. InThe Tourists, Jeff Hobbs makes an auspicious debut, showing himself to be a smart and surprisingly seasoned hand." -- Ron Carlson, author ofA Kind of Flying, "At once witty and sincere, tender and brutal -- and funny funny funny -- Jeff Hobbs'sThe Touristsis an irresistible love story and marks the debut of a major new talent." -- Adam Davies, author ofThe Frog King, "With a deft hand, Jeff Hobbs goes deep into the core of young New York, gracefully detailing the longings, hunger, and achingly realistic heartbreaks of a generation at loose ends.The Touristsis a captivating debut." -- Allison Lynn, author ofNow You See It, "At once witty and sincere, tender and brutal -- and funny funny funny -- Jeff Hobbs's "The Tourists" is an irresistible love story and marks the debut of a major new talent." -- Adam Davies, author of "The Frog King", "InThe Tourists, Jeff Hobbs introduces us to a world where educated and ambitious young Manhattanites compete for the ultimate souvenirs.

Synopsis
Meet the tourists, former classmates at Yale who, seven years later, must confront the people they've become while forging lives in Manhattan. David, a hedge fund wunderkind who forfeited idealism for wealth, hopes that a more fulfilling life lies ahead in the suburbs. His wife, the beautiful Samona, to whom David returns home nightly with nothing left for her, wonders whether her marriage is stripping away her best years. Ethan, a successful furniture designer with a magnetic sexuality, seeks something darker and more uncertain than the power lunches, needy family, and unsatisfying relationships that comprise his life. Rounding out the group is the story's unnamed narrator, a freelance reporter struggling to stay afloat -- financially, professionally, and emotionally -- who shares complicated histories with each of them. When Ethan and Samona have a chance encounter at a gallery opening, they meet each other's needs. As our narrator traverses the city and gradually reconstructs the events that underlie the present circumstances, his own mysterious role comes into ever sharper focus. Only later, after David commissions Ethan to design some conference rooms at his firm and a secret triangle is formed, does our narrator begin to tie all the pieces together. WithThe Tourists, Jeff Hobbs delivers a striking and stylish debut about the dark and sometimes destructive aspects of physical attraction and love, marital disillusionment, and the inevitable disappointments life can bring., The unnamed narrator picks up the story of his three former classmates from Yale as they are all nearing 30. Despite their apparent successes, Ethan, David, and Samona are not happy. Only when their lives begin to inexplicably intertwine does the narrator tie all the pieces together.

- 0***1 (1574)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThis book arrived within the time period given and was in the 'very good' condition described. Unfortunately, only being packaged in a plastic bag to traverse the Atlantic meant that all four corners got a battering (I would be happy to pay bit more in future for a bit of cardboard support in packaging) but all in all, the price was good and overall service for books that are difficult to get over here, I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend this seller. Will buy again from them.
