Denne skønne samling af korte fortællinger er perfekt til alle fans af Patrick Ness eller de der er for meget på farten, til nogensinde at få læst en hel roman. Noveller er super gode til at kickstarte læsningen og især når de er så velskrevet, grænsesøgende og ikke mindst tankeopvækkende som disse af Patrick Ness. Med alt fra krig, død og efterliv, til Jesus og forskellige email korrespondancer, formår forfatteren at tryllebinde læseren i realistiske beretninger såvel som alternative universer.
På denne charmerende novellesamlings bagside finder man følgende tekst: “Scintillating, surprising, inventive fiction from one of the most talented writers in Britain – this is a superb collection of short stories from the acclaimed author of the Chaos Walking series and ‘More Than This’.Have you heard the urban myth about Jesus’s double-jointed elbows yet? 100% true. Or seen the latest reports on the ‘groomgrabbing’ trend – the benevolent kidnapping of badly-dressed children by their well-meaning (and more dapper) elders? Heard the one about the Amazon from the Isle of Man? Or perhaps you’d like a job in telesales, offering self-defence classes over the phone? Don’t worry, as long as you meet the weekly quota, you won’t be sent to the end of the hall…Wonderfully original, fresh and funny, Topics About Which I Know Nothing is stuffed to the gills with dizzyingly inventive writing and warming, puzzling emotions – a fictional guide to how the world might have turned out”
