Bøker av Irma Kurtz

Warm, funny and perceptive, brimming with wisdom and insight, My Life in Agony is a meditation on the subjects that tend to concern and confuse us the most - from mother-daughter relationships through to eating disorders, office politics and those perennial areas of interest: love and sex.

Kurtz left her native America 30 years ago to live abroad. Time has made her homeland seem truly exotic, so last summer she set off alone across America by Greyhound bus. This book is the remarkable record of her rough passage from the East to the West Coast and back again. 8-page insert; map.

A wonderfully original, warm and witty account of London over the past 3 decades that simultaneously charts the author's rise from incidental tourist to internationally renowned agony aunt.
