Witz, Satire und die Lust an absurden Kontrasten: In seinen Glossen sieht Hellmuth Karasek der Zeit beim Vergehen zu und versucht, wenigstens die Komik festzuhalten. "Karasek ist eine Erzählernatur." Felicitas von Lovenberg, F.A.Z. Eigentlich küsst man Kröten nicht - man schluckt sie als unangenehme Wahrheiten hinunter. Nur Frösche küsst man - im Märchen, damit sie sich in Prinzen verwandeln. Doch die Glosse verhält sich zur Realität so, als müsste ihr Autor dauernd Kröten schlucken.

Er ist jung und eifrig. Er ist stolz auf sich und auf die große Zeitung, bei der er arbeiten darf.

Zunächst arbeitet er im Sportressort, dann als Reporter. Über Jahre geschieht und gelingt alles wie selbstverständlich, weit ist diese Welt hier und offen - bis das Vorherige, das Bedrängende von Neuem aufscheint, in eleganterer Form, mit dramatischen Folgen.

A classic collection of journalism from the legendary Jilly Cooper, narrated by Pandora Sykes. Wonderfully warm and astonishingly acerbic, Jilly’s observations from her days as a much-loved newspaper columnist cover everything on sex, socialising and survival - from marriage and friendship; the minutiae of family life and the tedium of going to visit people for the weekend; to the stress of hosting dinner parties and the descent of middle age.
