VersandkostenfreiDer amerikanische Kultautor T. C. Boyle unternimmt mit seinem neuen Roman einen Ausflug ins Thrillergenre: Die junge, gehörlose Dana Halter wird Opfer eines Identitätsdiebstahls - und macht sich auf die Suche nach dem Täter. . .
Over the past twenty-five years, T.C. Boyle has earned wide acclaim and an enthusiastic following with such adventurous, inimitable novels as The Tortilla Curtain, Drop City, and The Road to Wellville. For his riveting eleventh novel, Boyle offers readers the closest thing to a thriller he has ever written, a tightly scripted page turner about the trials of Dana Halter, a thirty-three-year-old deaf woman whose identity has been stolen. Featuring a woman in the lead role (a Boyle first), Talk Talk is both a suspenseful chase across America and a moving story about language, love, and identity from one of America's most versatile and entertaining novelists.
