Bøger af Ted

Kaptajnen og andre fortællinger er 35 erindringsbilleder om en barndom i en landsby lidt udenfor Amsterdam i efterkrigstidens Holland, en barndom, der udviklede sig til et absurd teater med en syg far, en dybt frustreret mor og lettere skøre onkler og tanter og en katolsk skolegang på en drengeskole hos munkene, hvor sex og piger var tabu. Det er lette og personlige erindringer skrevet mange år senere uden bitterhed, men med en blid og rammende humor. Anden del er noveller fra en skrivebordsskuffe om Leif den Lykkelige, der i 50’erne rejste rundt i verden med en udstoppet hval og blev meget rig, om et hus fra 70’ernes Vesterbro, hvor beboerne levede i en tidslomme igennem 40 år, om tante Iris, der sidder alene i sin lejlighed efter 40 år på en tobaksfabrik, og om en kvinde, der træder ind i sit barndomshjem, hvor hun aldrig har været før.

Fresh, vivacious and ridiculously entertaining, this book is destined to unravel as a rip-roaring read not only for those who recall Ted Dexter's sporting legacy, but for anyone who resonates with his fervent enthusiasm for both cricket and life.
