Wonderful Girl (nick Hornby)
About This Novel
British literary genius Hornby's new comedy shows the counterattack of a grassroots girl to become a BBC star; it pays tribute to Barbra Streisand's Oscar-winning business card "Funny Girl". Cleverly retelling the history of the BBC's golden era and recreating the unique pop culture of "Swinging London". The title of this book is borrowed from American acting superstar Barbra Streisand's Oscar-winning musical film Funny Girl (also translated as "Funny Girl"), but it is not a simple reproduction of the film, but a combination of fiction and reality. Through a clever retelling of the golden age of the BBC, it tells the story of the birth of a British version of "Funny Girl" - the female joker Barbara, until she flew up a branch and became a phoenix. The novel draws on the era of pop culture explosion such as "Swinging London" in the 1960s to describe how a grassroots girl constantly changes her self-perception on the road to pursuing her dreams. It also makes a wonderful display of the traditional British radio and television industry that is full of irony and humor.
