Fifty Shames of Earl Grey
Die "Fifty Shades of Grey" habe ich leider abbrechen müssen. Hoffentlich reicht das, was ich dann doch geschafft habe, um die Parodie als solche zu erkennen.
Gekauft habe ich das e-book, weil mich schon der erste Abschnitt vollauf begeistert hat. Hier der Auszüge aus der Leseprobe bei Amazon:
I GROWL WITH FRUSTRATION at my reflection in the mirror. My hair is fifty shades of messed up. Why is it so kinky and out of control? I need to stop sleeping with it wet. As I brush my long brown hair, the girl in the mirror with brown eyes too big for her head stares back at me. Wait . . . my eyes are blue! It dawns on me that I haven’t been looking into the mirror—I’ve been staring at a poster of Kristen Stewart for five minutes. My own hair is fine. [...]
Und so ein paar Zeilen später folgen Worte wie "[...] My roommate, Kathleen, has the brown bottle flu. [...]" oder Anspielungen wie "[...] I’m about to ride my bike three and a half hours from Portland, Oregon, to downtown Seattle to meet with Earl Grey, the fabulously wealthy CEO of the Earl Grey Corporation. [...]"
