‘Very funny. He writes in a sort of whimsical stream of consciousness … even his more random disquisitions contain glorious nuggets’ – Observer With his trademark darkly humorous mix of personal story and social commentary, Leith attempts to answer the question: is everything really as bad as it seems?’You’ll read this book in a weekend … Leith is, after all, a very good writer: succinct except when he’s repeating himself for effect; amusing except when he’s predicting the end of the world; perceptive except when he’s pretending he can’t remember who actually sang Pink Floyd’s Time, or which Dutch explorer discovered Easter Island … Leith’s brain is sharper than most, and he deftly weaves solipsistic woe into more pressing concerns about the housing market and the failure of Western capitalism. This is a potentially important book for our times’ Andrew Collins, Mail on Sunday
