Waterhouse does for the field of psychiatry what Kay did for obstetrics and gynaecology, describing the harsh reality of working in NHS hospitals with dark gallows humour while making serious points about underfunding, bed shortages and staff burnout. The nature of serious psychiatric illness poses diagnostic challenges, particularly when patients can\u2019t report their own symptoms and believe that they are werewolves or about to marry Harry Styles, and Waterhouse quickly finds the system is too overwhelmed to provide compassionate care. As well as portraits of colleagues and patients, Waterhouse also navigates the sources of his own anxiety and dysfunctional family issues. He still works for the NHS alongside gigs as a stand-up comedian, and he deploys humour with great effect in his insightful book about the mental health crisis.

Rainsford covers several aspects of daily life in Cuba including sport, limited Internet access, healthcare and tourism. These observations are intertwined with tracing the steps of Ruby Phillips, the New York Times correspondent and original \u201cwoman in Havana\u201d, and Graham Greene, who wrote \u2018Our Man in Havana\u2019 during the final years of the Batista regime. I think a bit more background about Cuba\u2019s more recent history and the impact of the Special Period in the 1990s would have been helpful for the context around life in Cuba today, but overall this is a very interesting account of a fascinating country.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/img_1071.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"9311\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/2025\/01\/04\/books-i-read-in-december-2024\/img_1071\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/img_1071.jpeg\" data-orig-size=\"655,1000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Eurotrash Christian Kracht\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/img_1071.jpeg?w=197\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/img_1071.jpeg?w=500\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-9311\" src=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/img_1071.jpeg?w=197\" alt=\"Eurotrash Christian Kracht\" width=\"197\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/img_1071.jpeg?w=197 197w, https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/img_1071.jpeg?w=394 394w, https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/img_1071.jpeg?w=98 98w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 197px) 100vw, 197px\"\/><\/a>Translated from the Swiss German by Daniel Bowles, <b>Eurotrash by Christian Kracht <\/b>is a short and strange autofictional novel whose narrator (also named Christian Kracht) goes on a road trip with his elderly alcoholic mother from Sylt on the north coast of Germany to Zurich in Switzerland, shortly after she has been released from a psychiatric institution. Christian\u2019s grandfather was a member of the Nazi party and it becomes apparent that they are both haunted by the past in different ways. I didn\u2019t realise until after I finished \u2018Eurotrash\u2019 that it is a sequel to Kracht\u2019s 1995 novel \u2018Faserland\u2019 which has yet to be translated into English. However, given the focus isn\u2019t really on plot, \u2018Eurotrash\u2019 still works as a stand-alone novel, even if it\u2019s too weird and sad to be as satirical as I would like about wealth and family dysfunction.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/img_1070.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"9310\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/2025\/01\/04\/books-i-read-in-december-2024\/version-1-0-0-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/img_1070.jpeg\" data-orig-size=\"1664,2560\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Version 1.0.0&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Version 1.0.0&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Box Office Poison Tim Robey\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/img_1070.jpeg?w=195\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/img_1070.jpeg?w=500\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-9310\" src=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/img_1070.jpeg?w=195\" alt=\"Box Office Poison Tim Robey\" width=\"195\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/img_1070.jpeg?w=195 195w, https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/img_1070.jpeg?w=390 390w, https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/img_1070.jpeg?w=98 98w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 195px) 100vw, 195px\"\/><\/a>Box Office Poison by Tim Robey <\/b>is a history of the biggest flops in cinema history, beginning with the silent epic \u2018Intolerance\u2019 in 1916 and concluding with the Hollywood adaptation of the musical \u2018Cats\u2019 in 2019, which is likely to be the last major flop of its kind now that streaming and the pandemic have likely changed cinema-going habits forever. \u2018Box Office Poison\u2019 is heavily focused on the 1990s and 2000s, with turkeys including \u2018Gigli\u2019 starring Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, and doomed sequels such as \u2018Speed 2: Cruise Control\u2019. Unsurprisingly, the majority of the films included here were critically panned, although Robey argues that some fall into the \u201cso bad it\u2019s good\u201d category and passionately defends \u2018Cutthroat Island\u2019 and \u2018Babe: Pig in the City\u2019. However, it appears that the majority were doomed from the very beginning of their production mostly due to hubris and out-of-control budgets. Robey is enthusiastic about his subject and \u2018Box Office Poison\u2019 is very entertaining.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-links\">\n<p class=\"entry-categories tagged\">Filed under <a href=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/category\/books\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Books<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"entry-tags tagged\">Tagged as <a href=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/tag\/benji-waterhouse\/\" rel=\"tag\">Benji Waterhouse<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/tag\/book\/\" rel=\"tag\">Book<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/tag\/book-review\/\" rel=\"tag\">Book Review<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/tag\/book-reviews\/\" rel=\"tag\">Book Reviews<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/tag\/christian-kracht\/\" rel=\"tag\">Christian Kracht<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/tag\/fiction\/\" rel=\"tag\">Fiction<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/tag\/non-fiction\/\" rel=\"tag\">Non fiction<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/tag\/novels\/\" rel=\"tag\">Novels<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/tag\/reading\/\" rel=\"tag\">Reading<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/tag\/reviews\/\" rel=\"tag\">Reviews<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/tag\/sarah-rainsford\/\" rel=\"tag\">Sarah Rainsford<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/tag\/tim-robey\/\" rel=\"tag\">Tim Robey<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/alittleblogofbooks.com\/tag\/translated-fiction\/\" rel=\"tag\">Translated Fiction<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-links --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>January 4, 2025 \u00b7 3:13 pm It is inevitable that You Don\u2019t Have to Be Mad to Work Here by Dr Benji Waterhouse will be compared to This Is Going To Hurt by Adam Kay.
