Beskrivelse af The Good Side of Bad
NOW AN ALETHEA ROOT FILM!
Winner of KIRKUS Discoveries "Best Fiction of 2010"
It's 2008 and there's more melting down than the economy. Peter is a successful Wall Street player until his world is turned upside down by the
global economic crisis. The trick is to keep his life and career together while his sisters in Seattle struggle to hold on to jobs, homes and sanity.
Younger sister Florence is losing her grip on reality...she jumped off a bridge, for starters. Mental holograms crack into the fissures of her
mind as pieces fall away. Her brother and older sister, Sara, are forced to disrupt their lives in an attempt to save her. Ticking time bombs, real and
imagined, challenge them to choose how they will show up for each other and for themselves. Moving between Seattle and New York, the story is told
though the voices of the three siblings as they face their own crises and try to stay afloat.
With insight and empathy, Olevin explores the mysterious world of mental illness, the corruption and greed of financial markets, and the tangled ties
of family. The Good Side of Bad is a finely wrought, humorous and moving journey towards compassion and the other side of loss.
