Эту книгу я выловила, кажется, у кого-то из гостей Книжного чела. Хорошие эти современные британские писатели: в меру снобы и в меру эмпаты. Тут тебе и самоирония, и стиль, и прекрасные не-ответы на наши современные вызовы со всеми нашими политкорректностями, миграционными политиками и проблемами стран первого мира. Хорошо, вот хорошо. А ещё отлично дополнят этот текст две штуки, которые можно найти на Нетфликсе. 1) Explained — Ep.Political Correctness https://www.netflix.com/title/80216752 и 2) Very British Problems https://www.netflix.com/title/80118954. Хэлп йорсэлф, так сказать 💂🏼‍♀️]

<On May 6th Britain was asked to choose a new direction and the people spoke with a loud, unanimous, decisive voice and what they said could hardly have been clearer. They said, “We don’t know.” .... ‘Two years ago the world experienced a terrible financial crisis and nobody knows how to deal with it. Nobody knows the way forward. I call it radical indecision – the new spirit of our times. And Nick and Dave embody it perfectly.’>

<— ... my parents don’t fight, exactly. They just seem to live in a permanent state of … semi-hostile indifference.
— Sounds very British.>

<Nobody was expecting this. Nobody was ready for it. Nobody knows what Brexit is. Nobody knows how you do it. A year and a half ago they were all calling it Brixit. Nobody knows what Brexit means.>
