Keep Clear by Tom Cutler

Eine Nacht - Drei Geschichten In der Nacht vor ihrem achtzehnten Geburtstag schleicht sich Alexandra aus dem Haus ihrer Eltern. Ihr Ziel ist das alte, verlassene Kinderheim mitten im Odenwald, in ihrem Rucksack tr gt sie ein Buch mit drei Geschichten. Um sich von schlaflosen N chten und qu lender M digkeit zu befreien, macht sich Alexandra entschlossen auf den Weg durch die Einsamkeit der Nacht und die Stille des Waldes. Dabei dringt sie in die verstorbenen Eingeweide des heruntergekommenen Kinderheimes vor, um sich in den tiefsten und dunkelsten Winkeln des Hauses den alten S nden einer verborgenen Vergangenheit zu stellen.

‘What makes this book extraordinary … is not the autism of its author but Cutler’s ability to articulate subtle shades of feeling in prose that feels both rigorously precise and uproariously funnyBy its unexpectedly heart-wrenching conclusion, Keep Clear has delivered the readers into a world transformed by being glimpsed through the eyes of another – the reward of all superb writing.’

-- Steve Silberman * The Spectator *

‘A British humour writer chronicles his experiences with Asperger’s syndrome, for which he didn’t receive a diagnosis until he was 55, and explores some of the science associated with the condition … [T]he meat of the book is Cutler’s detailed, highly entertaining examination of his life on the spectrum, and his unique brand of comedy is evident throughout … An intimate embrace of Asperger’s full of both melancholy and salty humour..’

* Kirkus Reviews *

‘Honest, witty and informative, this is an important and valuable book on many levels … If you have a friend or family member who is on the Autism Spectrum, this book will go a long way toward helping to understand the immense effort it requires to try to fit into a ‘neurotypical’ world.’

* The Sherlock Holmes Journal *

‘This is a delightful and intimate insight into Asperger's, it couldn't be more timely or more valuable.’

-- Nicholas Blincoe, author of Manchester Slingback

‘Cutler’s memoir is a heartwarming account of his life through the lens of his obsessions and eccentricities.’

* Happy Mag *

Praise for A Gentleman's Bedside Book:

‘The perfect stocking filler for the man who has everything.’

* The Oldie *
