Perhaps it's time you embraced the wilder side of life.... A subversive military campaign to wipe out pensioners ... a sadistic newspaper editor who bullies and humiliates his staff while worrying about his translation of Horace ... an Italian soccer maestro is hired to teach English players to spit ... a tiger loose on the 3.30pm from Charing Cross to Tunbridge Wells ... a fantasy biography that leads to an international incident ... an author hiding in a library, watching in secret as a beautiful young woman inserts new pages into his book to form a completely different story ... From shadow catchers to obsessive collectors, broken book groups to bullying bosses, Fergus Linnane shares a wealth of bizarre, entertaining and often darkly hilarious stories which subvert our expectations and give life a totally new perspective...
