He is also the author of the novels Dead Writers in Rehab and Please Do Not Ask for Mercy as a Refusal Often Offends."It is dark, dirty, grim and confusing - in a very good way. It's also warm, humane, funny and mischievous, and all the pages are in the right order." - Jeremy Hardy 'Ambitious and entertaining in every sense. Just fabulous. One of the funniest books I have read in a long time' The Last World Book Review 'Like a light-hearted One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest if the patients were authors. It's a brilliant concept with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. It's totally unique while managing to be intelligent and funny at the same time' Elementary V Watson 'A tour de force: a comedy with dark undertones... Spoofs from very famous literary styles with dazzling skill' Charles Harris 'A splendid dark comedy: most of the chapters are in the form of patients' "recovery diaries", so you've got a parade of pastiche voices that is a joy to read. But, just when you think you have the novel pinned down, it reveals a serious heart - and changes shape more than once. A delight' David's Book World
