Summary
From the beginning Oliver Walzer is a natural - at ping-pong.
From the beginning Oliver Walzer is a natural - at ping-pong. Even with his improvised bat (the Collins Classic edition of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde) he can chop, flick, half-volley like a champion. At sex he is not so adept, but with tuition from Sheeny Waxman, fellow member of the Akiva Social Club Table Tennis Team and stalwart of the Kardomah coffee bar, his game improves. Winner of the 2010 Man Booker Prize.
Perfect for fans of Arborist Merchandising Root, Self Service, Custom Stores, Jewish Fiction, Literary Fiction Books, Contemporary Fiction Books.
