Beschreibung

La femme. Le mari. L'enfant. Le chat. Le petit dejeuner. Le journal. L'auteur. La festival du filme. La critique. L'agent. Le mort. La naissance.
A novel starring Jean-Luc Godard.
It's Edinburgh Film Festival 2020 and critic Victor Eaves meets filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard in a novel blending mad vulgarity with slingshot satire. French Toast is a family farce and cinematic adventure starring a giant of the silver screen.
"This is the story of my encounter with the venerable French-Swiss film director Jean-Luc Godard. In 2020, when he was 90 years old, Godard was invited to Edinburgh to speak at the Film Festival and I was chosen to meet him, as I was the only journalist in the city who both spoke French and had seen any of his films."
VICTOR EAVES
"Burnett's latest novel is both a scabrous satire and a rollicking caper, and comes stuffed with big ideas, memorable set pieces, clever in-jokes and caustic asides. Buried within the mayhem lurk shrewd insights into artistic judgment."
THE HERALD
"Peter Burnett is not in the business of fuelling hubris. He is concerned with questions about meaning, value and the nature of authenticity."

    Literary critic, E. A. Koltonovskaya, described the literary style of novelist Maria Krestovskaya as follows, “Her pen, for all its feminine agility, is often remarkable for its nearly masculine reticence. She has none of the chaotic flood of thoughtless emotions, which so frequently plagues the works by female writers. She does not like lyrical diversions and allows her characters to speak and act for themselves. Even during the most dramatic scenes, her tone remains restrained. Her formulation of women’s issues gives one the sense of a broad, universal foundation. There is none of the narrowness, exclusiveness, and bias so prevalent in the topic as described by ideological feminists.” 
    The story that follows is quintessential Krestovskaya - complete with humor, deftly delivered touches of real life, and ample food for thought.

       Bill and Marci Finkle are your average, idiotic suburbanites living their consumer-driven, vapid lives when they inherit a mysterious family heirloom from Bill's great Uncle Phinneus. The heirloom turns out to be a clock, which turns out to be a time machine...and everything the Finkles think they know about the world (which isn't much) is about to be turned upside down.  
       Even worse, with their complete and total ignorance in all things, the world isn't safe from the Finkles. So, when their neighbors, the Sanders, also inherit a time machine from their own distant relation, the discovery leads to a world of intrigue and danger. Are their neighbors actually just neighbors, or something worse? Is Uncle Phinneus really dead? Can you change the future? Should you change the past? In pursuit of answers, the Finkles bumble through millions of years and across the continents in this loopy, thrilling, action-adventure comedy! Join them and travel from a Karankawa Indian village in the 1600's to a 17th century pirate ship; to NASA, the beginnings of the Battle of the Americas in Mayan territory and to post-revolutionary Philadelphia. Visit a vacation home in the Pleistocene, a Dallas cloud farm in the polluted future and go back a million years ago to the original settlement of Atlantis as the Finkles discover just how big the Universe really is and search for answers, like the definition of rhubarb.
