Den återmonterade mannen av Herbert D. Kastle.
Jag är säker på att jag har en kopia någonstans eftersom jag kommer ihåg historien men jag kan inte hitta den i kaoset som är min boksamling. Så Här är en sammanfattning som jag hittade på webben :
Our “hero” is Ed Berner, a 38 year-old sap who has been beaten down by life. Married to a shrew, the father of two prepubescent kids, Ed makes a moderate living as a copywriter at a Manhattan ad agency.
Utlänningarna är Druggish .
The aliens (who initially speak in beatnik, having assumed it was the standard Earth language from their research) inform Ed that he’s been chosen to be their “recorder” of life on Earth. They wanted an average guy living an average life, and Ed fit the bill. In exchange they will grant him his wishes; anything Ed has previously longed for will be given him.
Du säger inte vad du menar med gamla , men boken publicerades 1964.
