Some money from each copy of \u003cb\u003eSpeaking with the Angel\u003c\/b\u003e sold will benefit autism education charities around the world, including The Treehouse School in London, where Nick's son Danny is a student, and the New York Child Learning Institute here in the States. This project is truly a labor of love for Hornby and the other writers involved, many of whom are Nick's friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese original first-person narratives come from the most exciting voices in fiction. Melissa Bank gives readers a glimpse into the mind of a modern New Yorker whose still-new relationship is a constant source of surprise in \"The Wonder Spot.\" In Zadie Smith's \"I'm the Only One,\" a young man recalls his strained relationship with his diva-esque sister. Dave Egger's \"After I Was Thrown in the River and Before I Drowned,\" is told from the viewpoint of an unfortunate pit bull. Helen Fielding offers up a new twist on I've fallen and I can't get up in \"Luckybitch.\" And in Nick Hornby's \"NippleJesus,\" a bruiser finds out that guarding modern art is far more hazardous than controlling the velvet ropes at a nightclub. \u003cb\u003eSpeaking with the Angel\u003c\/b\u003e also includes stories from Roddy Doyle, Irvine Welsh, Colin Firth, John O'Farrell, Robert Harris, Patrick Marber, and Giles Smith. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwelve completely new stories, written by twelve undeniably imaginative voices. \u003cb\u003eSpeaking with the Angel\u003c\/b\u003e is at turns clever, outrageous, witty, edgy, tender, and wicked. This is what they meant by original.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Adult Hc\/Tr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45411491414167,"sku":"9781573228589","price":1899.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781573228589.webp?v=1767443871","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/speaking-with-the-angel-9781573228589","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
