Full Description
True love versus easy money — which would you choose if your partner was literally your golden goose?
The day her careers counsellor informs her that her philosophy major has left her with 'no special skills', Anna gives up on her ambitions and her brilliant career as a student. Now a warm-up act for a TV talk show, she finds consolation only in her relationship: she and Lulu have true love, the kind only two minimum-wage workers defying contemporary consumer society could ever know.
Until one day, Lulu starts vomiting money. While he purges himself of enough to keep her in designer handbags, Anna wonders: should she be worried about his health or should she do her best to make sure he never stops?
In The Laughter of Others newcomer Emma Tholozan delivers a raw, brutally funny portrait of a generation without ideals.
