AN ORIGINAL GRAPHIC NOVEL FROM THE OSCAR-NOMINATED SCREENWRITER AND AWARD-WINNING CARTOONIST Meet Wilson, an opinionated middle-aged loner who loves his dog and quite possibly no one else. In an ongoing quest to find human connection, he badgers friend and stranger alike into a series of onesided conversations, punctuating his own lofty discursions with a brutally honest, self-negating sense of humor. After his father dies, Wilson, now irrevocably alone, sets out to find his ex-wife with the hope of rekindling their long-dead relationship, and discovers he has a teenage daughter, born after the marriage ended and given up for adoption.Wilson eventually forces all three to reconnect as a family--a doomed mission that will surely, inevitably backfire. In the first all-new graphic novel from one of the leading cartoonists of our time, Daniel Clowes creates a thoroughly engaging, complex, and fascinating portrait of the modern egoist--outspoken and oblivious to the world around him.Working in a single-page-gag format and drawing in a spectrumof styles, the cartoonist of GhostWorld, Ice Haven, and David Boring gives us his funniest and most deeply affecting novel to date.

Harold Wilson held out the promise of technology and of 'the Britain that is going to be forged in the white heat of this revolution'. A balance of payment crisis, leading to devaluation in 1967, frustrated the fulfilment of his prime ministerial promises. Meanwhile foreign affairs were dominated by the issue of Rhodesia, in which Wilson took a personal initiative in diplomacy with Ian Smith but failed to make any progress.
WILSON ER en godhjertet døgenikt, en ensom ungkar, en god ektemann og far, en idiot. en sosiopat, en besserwisser med vrangforestillinger, en skjør blomst, 100% Wilson. Alexander Payne skal regissere filmversjonen av WILSON: «I've been inspired all my life by silent comedies, and I think this middle-aged guy who has made all the wrong decisions is my comic archetype. We're all trying to wake up in this brief flash of life on this planet, unless we're complete idiots, and I root for these characters to grow and wake up, the way I root for myself to grow and wake up.» Alexander Payne På norsk av Daniel Clowes: Den prisbelønte og filmatiserte «Ghost world» og «Som en silkehanske støpt i jern». Clowes had mottatt flere priser, bl.a PEN Center USA Literary Award «honoring his Outstanding Body of Work in Graphic Lit». «Daniel Clowes has explored the tedium and mystery of contemporary American life with more wit and insight than most novelists or filmmakers.» New York Times «For those interested in comic art's potential, Clowes' work offers exciting literary possibilities.» Time Magazine
Suositun kosmologin monikerroksinen esikoisromaani.Wilson on kirkkaasti ja oivalluksella kirjoitettu romaani ystävyydestä, rakkaudesta, elämän ennustamattomuudesta sekä ihmisen tiedon rajoista.Kirja kertoo Emilian ja Kassandran tarinan alkaen hetkestä, jolloin mystinen Wilson ilmaantuu Jupiterin kiertoradalle. Sen saapuessa Emilia on sairaalapsykologi ja Kassandra yrityskonsultti. Etsiessään omaa paikkaansa ystävykset haparoivat kiinalaisen ylivallan vuosikymmenten lävitse kohti tulevaisuutta, jonka tuhoutumista Jupiteria kiertävä ilmestys tuntuu ennustavan.”Wilson on mahdottomuus. Se on niin mahdoton, että tutkijat epäilevät, onko se sittenkään olemassa. Jos se on olemassa, missä mielessä se on olemassa?”Olipa Wilson mitä tahansa, se järkyttää mieliä, synnyttää uskontoja ja väkivaltaa sekä suistaa poluille, jotka vievät kauas lähtöpisteestä. Se on kohtalontähti, joka loistaa läpi vuosikymmenien ja muokkaa vaivihkaa Emilian, Kassandran ja heidän läheistensä elämää.Emeritusprofessori Kari Enqvist (s. 1954) on palkittu kosmologi. Wilson on hänen esikoisromaaninsa.

The first collection of plays by one of Britain's most original dramatists This first volume of Snoo Wilson's plays contains a mixture of his best early work from the 1970s and more recent efforts. Long considered to be a legend of Fringe theatre, Snoo Wilson's early plays had such absurd titles as Girl Mad as Pigs and Ella Daybellfesse's Machine. All of Wilson's plays search out strange psychological states in his characters and situations. Blowjob is a dark study in alienation and violence; in Pigsnight a Lincolnshire farm is taken by a sinister gang and turned into a machine for the organised butchering of animals. The Soul of the White Ant explores the weird world of the South African naturalist Eugene Marais whose ideas about a corporate soul lead to insanity. The volume also includes two plays with a Freudian perspective: More Light and Darwin's Flood. The volume includes an introduction by the author and notes by his various collaborators."Snoo Wilson tackles dark pockets of human endeavour with an original wit and a savage humour" (Financial Times).
A second collection of plays from one of Britain's most original dramatists This second volume of plays includes Vampire: 'The height of comedy, a manic, hellzapoppin of invention, sliding from verbal frolics to pure slapstick' (The Times); The Glad Hand: 'A full-blooded theatrical experience which is also - praise be - good fun to watch. Its energetic, imaginative nonsense spills out ideas, situations, crises, comedy and political harangue in a fire-work display of non-sequitur, whiz-bang high spirits' (Sunday Telegraph); The Grass Widow: 'Hilariously confirms that Mr Wilson is the liveliest and most enlivening English dramatists of his generation' (Sunday Telegraph); Sabina: A typically surreal and unrestrained work ...wonderfully theatrical.' (Tribune)"Snoo Wilson tackles dark pockets of human endeavour with an original wit and a savage humour" (Financial Times).
