#1 "NEW YORK TIMES" BESTSELLER It's summer in Memphis. The sweat is sticking to Rudy Baylor's shirt and creditors are nipping at his heels. Once he had aspirations of breezing through law school and punching his ticket to the good life. Now he doesn't have a job or a prayer--except for one: an insurance dispute that leaves a family devastated and opens the door for a lawsuit, if Rudy can find a way to file it. By the time Rudy gets to court, a heavyweight corporate defense team is there to meet him. And suddenly he's in over his head, plunged into a nightmare of lies and legal maneuverings. A case that started small is exploding into a thunderous million-dollar war of nerves, skill, and outright violence--a fight that could cost one young lawyer his life, or turn him into the biggest rainmaker in the land.

by Jane Smiley · Knopf

Med "Moo" introduserer den amerikanske forfatteren Jane Smiley leseren for det indre liv på en høyskole i Midtvesten. Med svart humor og ironi spenner hun opp et stort lerret av enkeltskjebner og miljøer som fremstår som et mikrokosmos av vår vestlige kultur. Akademiske karriereambisjoner og politisk spillfekteri møtes i uhellige allianser - hvem er det nå egentlig som betaler for "forskningen" som utføres? Parallelt blir en rekke enkletpersoners forfengelige og fåfengte strev for å posisjonere seg, seksuelt og sosialt forøvrig, avkledd på morsomt vis. Av Jane Smiley bøker er tidligere bare en utgitt på norsk, "Fire tusen mål", som kom i 1992.
