Spurious Serie

Questa serie segue gli assurdi viaggi di due amici alla ricerca dell'illuminazione filosofica, di una migliore compagnia e di risposte a fenomeni inspiegabili. Con umorismo e ironia che ricordano le commedie classiche, la serie si addentra in questioni esistenziali e assurdità quotidiane. Ogni puntata offre un mix di riflessioni intellettuali e situazioni bizzarre che mettono alla prova i confini della realtà e del senso della vita. È una ricerca tanto interiore quanto esteriore, piena di svolte inaspettate e arguto umorismo britannico.

    In a raucous debut that summons up Britain's fabled Goon Squad comedies, writer and philosopher Lars Iyer tells the story of someone very like himself with a "slightly more successful" friend and their journeys in search of more palatable literary conferences and better gin. One reason for their journeys: the narrator's home is slowly being taken over by a fungus that no one seems to know what to do about. Before it completely swallows his house, the narrator feels compelled to solve some major philosophical questions (such as "Why?") and the meaning of his urge to write, as well as the source of the fungus ... before it is too late. Or, he has to move.

    A plague of rats, the end of philosophy, the cosmic chicken, and bars that don’t serve Plymouth Gin—is this the Apocalypse or is it just America? “The apocalypse is imminent,” thinks W. He has devoted his life to philosophy, but he is about to be cast out from his beloved university. His friend Lars is no help at all—he’s too busy fighting an infestation of rats in his flat. A drunken lecture tour through the American South proves to be another colossal mistake. In desperation, the two British intellectuals turn to Dogma, a semi-religious code that might yet give meaning to their lives. Part Nietzsche, part Monty Python, part Huckleberry Finn, Dogma is a novel as ridiculous and profound as religion itself. The sequel to the acclaimed novel Spurious, Dogma is the second book in one of the most original literary trilogies since Molloy, Malone Dies and The Unnamable.
