M. T. Anderson Książki

Pełna akcji i humoru, opowiedziana słowem i obrazem historia o elfie i goblinie, którzy dostają się w sam środek odwiecznego konfliktu swych ras. Inteligentne fantasy z satyrycznym zmysłem, jakiego nie powstydziłby się Terry Pratchett. Elfi historyk Brangwin Kąkol wyrusza z niebezpieczną misją: ma dostarczyć władcy goblinów bezcenny klejnot na znak pokoju między wrogimi dotąd narodami. Oraz przy okazji zdobyć nieco tajnych informacji. Jego przewodnikiem jest pełen dobrych chęci gobliński archiwista Werfel, gotów zapoznać nieufnego gościa ze wspaniałą kulturą swojego ludu. Ci dwaj mogliby zostać przyjaciółmi – ale niezwykły ciąg wpadek, zdrad i międzykulturowych nieporozumień rzuca ich w sam środek międzynarodowego kryzysu, który może skończyć się dla nich śmiercią, a dla ich narodów – wojną. Pełne czarnego humoru ilustracje stylizowane na średniowieczne ryciny ukazują tajne transmisje, wysyłane przez Brangwina do elfiego wywiadu, natomiast zawarta w tekście bezstronna relacja Werfla opowiada całkiem inną historię… Zabójstwo Brangwina Kąkola to dowcipna powieść o uprzedzeniach, różnicach kulturowych i bezwzględnej polityce, a zarazem błyskotliwa krytyka świata podzielonego na wrogie plemiona, które nie potrafią się nawzajem zrozumieć. W­ 2018 roku znalazła się w finale jednej z najbardziej prestiżowych amerykańskich nagród literackich – National Book Award dla młodzieży.
