Paul Ablemans novel finds him in a hotel room at the end of his days, as he recounts via a dying monologue the events of his turbulent life. What is revealed, in a testimony full of jokes and surprises, is a brash, lustful, comic, profane, nave and sentimental man who, driven on by remorse, displays a wry and perceptive honesty about himself, even as his memories begin to merge with imaginings.Often funny and sometimes moving, Tornado Pratts voice is an unforgettable one in which he confronts his own mortality, and in which Paul Ableman gives us an astonishing, affecting and life-affirming story. Auberon Waugh called Tornado Pratt a magnificent and memorable novel....4184619Tornado Pratt237279https://www.gandhi.com.mx/tornado-pratt-9780571314195/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2618341/119a6c05-1132-4f94-abd3-d9a5313bac8b.jpg?v=638525521234270000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20149780571314195_W3siaWQiOiI4NGEzM2U2Ny1lOGVkLTRmMGUtYjU1MS0xZWNhZGM4NThjNTMiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjI3OSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjQyLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjIzNywiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMTItMDNUMjM6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780571314195_Tornado Pratt is the last of the old-style American tycoons, one who has lived his life with ferocious vigour through the vacillating fortunes of the twentieth-century USA.
