About this item
At last, the definitive book about perhaps the best cabin crew dramedy ever filmed: View From the Top starring Gwyneth Paltrow. In Ayoade on Top, Richard Ayoade, perhaps one of the most insubstantial people of our age, takes us on a journey from Peckham to Paris by way of Nevada and other places we dont care about. Its a journey deep within, in a way thats respectful and non-invasive; a journey for which we will all pay a heavy price, even if youve waited for the smaller paperback edition. Ayoade argues for the canonisation of this brutal masterpiece, a film that celebrates capitalism in all its victimless glory; one we might imagine Donald Trump himself half-watching on his private jets gold-plated flat screen while his other puffy eye scans the cabin for fresh, young prey."
