«Funny Girl» is the novel by Nick Hornby, published by Stock in paperback (417 pages, in French).
Sophie Straw, former Miss Blackpool, triumphs in the 1960s as the star of a BBC comedy. The producer gives himself to the team, the writers keep a secret, and Clive, the lead actor, sees the series as something fleeting. When fiction brushes against reality, each must choose. A defense of pop culture, with humor and tenderness.
This French edition was published in 2015 in Stock's La Cosmopolite collection.
For readers who enjoy funny and heartwarming stories about the world of television and British pop culture of the 1960s.
