Help Wanted: A Novel

Help Wanted: A Novel
One of Barack Obama’s Favorite Books of the Summer A Best Book of the Year in Vogue, Vulture, Elle, and Economist A New York Times Book Review Editors'' Choice “Poignant, funny, stealthily ambitious.” —Michelle Goldberg, New York Times From the best-selling author of The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P. comes a funny, eye-opening tale of work in contemporary America. Every day at 3:55 a.m., members of Team Movement clock in for their shift at big-box store Town Square in a small upstate New York town. Under the eyes of a self-absorbed and barely competent boss, they empty the day’s truck of merchandise, stock the shelves, and scatter before the store opens and customers arrive. Their lives follow a familiar if grueling routine, but their real problem is that Town Square doesn’t schedule them for enough hours—most of them are barely getting by, even while working second or third jobs. When store manager Big Will announces he is leaving, the members of Movement spot an opportunity. If they play their cards right, one of them just might land a management job, with all the stability and possibility for advancement that that implies. The members of Team Movement—including a comedy-obsessed oddball who acts half his age, a young woman clinging on to her “cool kid” status from high school, and a college football hopeful trying to find a new path—band together to set a just-so-crazy-it-might-work plot in motion. Adelle Waldman’s debut novel was a breakout sensation, lauded by the Los Angeles Times as an “exacting character study” with “excellent and witty prose” and described as “incisive and very funny” by the Economist and “brilliant” by both NPR’s Fresh Air and the Washington Post. In her long-awaited follow-up, Waldman brings her unparalleled wit and astute social observation to the world of modern, low-wage work. A humane and darkly comic workplace caper that shines a light on the odds low-wage workers are up against in today’s economy, Help Wanted is a funny, moving tale of ordinary people trying to make a living.

Nathaniel (Nate) Piven é uma estrela em ascensão. O seu primeiro livro vai ser publicado por uma editora importante, a sua reputação como crítico literário é irrepreensível, as mulheres adoram-no. Vive em Brooklyn há alguns anos, mas em termos sociais é como se tivesse acabado de chegar. Com estrondo. Nate deveria, pensamos, estar feliz. Mas ele é demasiado obsessivo para se limitar a apreciar a vida. Uma noite, ao sair de casa, Nate é (mais uma vez) vítima desse campo minado de ex-amantes que é Nova Iorque. Entre acusações e tentativas de fuga, Nate prevê (correctamente) que “a noite acabará como tantas outras, em lágrimas”. Mas é nessa ocasião que conhece Hannah Leary. Como ele, Hannah vai ter a sua obra publicada por uma editora de renome. Nate fica fascinado. Ela é atraente, culta e sofisticada. Melhor do que todas as outras. Uma mulher, acredita, à sua altura.

Amori e disamori di Nathaniel P.
L''abbiamo conosciuto tutti uno così: uno che si crede una persona sensibile, uno scrittore impegnato, un campione del femminismo. Uno come Nate. Ma cosa ha trasformato il ragazzo che ogni donna vorrebbe amare, in quello che ogni donna ama odiare? Amori e disamori di Nathaniel P. è la più acuta, divertente, devastante discesa nelle profondità (o presunte tali) della mente di un giovane uomo. Adelle Waldman ha scritto il romanzo che nessun fidanzato vorrebbe far leggere alla propria ragazza... e che invece dovrebbe leggere anche lui.

LIVRO DO ANO 2014 DO THE GUARDIAN, THE NEW YORKER, THE ECONOMIST, CHICAGO TRIBUNE, ELLE, BOOKFORUM Em seu primeiro romance, a americana Adelle Waldman surpreende os leitores e a crítica com uma história de rara maturidade e elegância sobre as relações do homem moderno com as mulheres, a cidade e consigo mesmo, e sobre como esse homem enxerga o amor e o sexo. Mostrando um talento extraordinário para se colocar na pele de um protagonista masculino, ela traça os altos e baixos da vida contemporânea através dos olhos de Nate, um escritor aspirante do Brooklyn em busca de felicidade e status, sempre atraído para novos casos amorosos, e quase sempre inclinado a abandoná-los. Encontrando nos sentimentos, dúvidas e pensamentos do protagonista um incrível reflexo do que se passa diariamente na vida de todos nós, a autora dá vida a um dos personagens masculinos mais realistas da literatura americana recente. Adelle Waldman só pode ser Jane Austen desta geração - The Boston Globeway. SOBRE A AUTORA: Adelle Waldman é escritora freelancer e crítica literária.

La Vie amoureuse de Nathaniel P.

La Vie amoureuse de Nathaniel P.
La trentaine, l’écrivain new-yorkais Nathaniel Piven connaît enfin le succès qu’il recherchait. Son roman est sur le point d’être publié, de nombreux journaux le sollicitent pour collaborer et il est entouré par les femmes les plus désirables.Mais est-il capable de s’engager réellement ? C’est la question qui se pose lorsqu’une de ses aventures prend un tour plus sérieux...Immergée dans le Brooklyn des jeunes intellectuels, Adelle Waldman ausculte la psyché de ce citadin contemporain, imparfait, souvent exaspérant, mais qui lutte en permanence avec sa propre anxiété liée aux femmes.« Une comédie de mœurs du XXIe siècle intelligente et charmante. Waldman excelle à rendre compte des défauts de communication dans une relation amoureuse. » Jess Walter, The New York Times Book Review « Adelle Waldman pourrait bien être la Jane Austen de cette génération. Dans son roman, aussi amusant que douloureusement juste par moments, elle ausculte à la perfection les marivaudages de ceux qui forment l’aristocratie d’aujourd’hui : la jeune élite littéraire de Brooklyn. » The Boston Globe « Un auteur à suivre. Profondément intelligent. » Jonathan Franzen « Pourquoi ce livre est-il si court ? Espérons qu’il y aura une suite !... » Gary Shteyngart

Los amores fugaces de Nathaniel P.

Los amores fugaces de Nathaniel P.
Nathaniel P. es un escritor en ascenso. Después de años de batallar profesionalmente, ahora parece que lo tiene todo, columnas en revistas, un libro a punto de publicarse y una ciudad llena de mujeres para elegir: Juliet, la exitosa reportera de negocios; Elisa, su hermosa ex novia convertida en amiga; y Hannah, “casi universalmente considerada linda e inteligente, o inteligente y linda”. A lo largo de su brillante primera novela, Adelle Waldman se sumerge en la psique de un hombre débil, a veces irritante, que piensa en sí mismo como poco merecedor de un juicio superficial pero que batalla constantemente con su propio estado de ansiedad. Nate se siente atraído por las mujeres pero tiene el hábito de decepcionarlas en formas que bien podrían convertirlo en el hombre emblema de nuestro tiempo. Los amores fugaces de Nathaniel P. es un relato absorbente acerca de los caminos amorosos y un vistazo profundo a lo que un hombre contemporáneo piensa de las mujeres, el sexo y el amor.

New Year's
From Adelle Waldman, author of The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P., here''s New Year''s, a story from the point of view of Nate''s friend Aurit—as startling, provocative and true-to-life a tale about a young woman''s dating life as The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P. was about a young man''s. She felt some part of herself relax when she was with him. She could shut off the part of her brain that was always monitoring whether she was talking too much, being "selfish." A few years before the start of The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P., twentysomething writer Nathaniel Piven admires a piece of published work by a young woman named Aurit Arazi, and writes her an email expressing his appreciation. After this introduction, they meet for a drink. At the time, Nate is dating gorgeous, moody Elisa, and Aurit has an older, successful novelist boyfriend named Carter, but Nate and Aurit become friends. In the months, even years, that pass, Nate''s and Aurit''s romantic partners change, but their friendship carries on. And then, one New Year''s eve, it seems that the nature of their relationship may change. Like many readers who got to know Nate P. in The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P., Aurit is pretty sure that, when it comes to relationships with women, Nate can be an asshole, but is there more to him than that? In New Year''s, author Adelle Waldman exposes the mating psyche of one brilliant young female writer, with the same shockingly accurate eye that brought the world Nathaniel P.

Het liefdesleven van Nathaniel P.

release date: May 06, 2014
Het liefdesleven van Nathaniel P.
Nate Piven heeft het voor het uitkiezen. Na zijn eerste boekcontract komt het werk vanzelf op hem af, en ook de vrouwen. Juliet, de flitsende journaliste; Elisa, zijn extreem knappe ex, maar nu gewone vriendin; en Hannah, ''algemeen beschouwd als lief en slim of slim en lief'', die zich met humor staande weet te houden in het spitse woordspel van zijn vrienden. Adelle Waldman weet Nates visie op vrouwen genadeloos en bijna letterlijk bloot te leggen. Hoe hij steeds weer meent niet oppervlakkig, niet laf en niet stereotiep te zijn maar juist aandacht en geduld te hebben. Weergaloos spel met de liefde rond de vraag: waar kiest hij voor? Of beter: voor wie? Persrecensies ''Een goed voorbeeld van de opkomende Brooklyn novel: witty bildungsromans van hipsters uit de tofste buurt van NY.'' Vogue ''Soms wil je Nate gewoon een klap verkopen. Of zoals ''Girls''-Lena Dunham schreef: "Nate is zo real dat je er lesbisch van zou worden." En hij meent het niet eens slecht, da''s nog het ergste. Leuke roman, de mannenversie van ''Girls''.'' Glamour ''In deze roman heeft Waldman iets gedaan wat tot nog toe onmogelijk was: doordringen tot in het diepste wezen van de vrouw van nu door middel van de grillige monologue interieur van een man [] Haar hoofdpersoon bedoelt het goed, wat misschien nog wel het meest ontnuchterende is. Nate komt griezelig echt over. Wees gewaarschuwd: van dit boek moet je lachen en je krijgt koude rillingen van herkenning.'' Lena Dunham (Girls) ''Uniek en wonderbaarlijk: een roman die poogt onze ziel te verrijken. Verpakt in uitermate elegant en vermakelijk proza voert Waldman een moreel project uit: ze streeft ernaar onze sympathie te vergroten en onze schaamte aan te spreken zodat we een betere versie van onszelf worden.'' Alain de Botton ''Razend slim.'' Jonathan Franzen
