Hilar­i­ous, heart­break­ing, provoca­tive, and affect­ing — Howard Jacob­son’s irre­sistible jour­nal­ism from the Inde­pen­dent reveals the Man Book­er Prize-win­ning nov­el­ist in all his humanity.

From the tini­est absur­di­ties to the most uni­ver­sal joys and des­o­la­tions, Jacob­son writes with a thun­der, pas­sion, and wit unmatched. Just as did his pre­vi­ous vol­ume, What­ev­er It Is, I Don’t Like It, this glo­ri­ous, unput­down­able col­lec­tion will delight, enter­tain, chal­lenge, and move.
