More about the book
James Hamilton-Paterson's first collection of stories presents a disquietingly humorous volume that tilts the reader's perception of the world just sufficiently to make the bizarre seem ordinary and the mundane utterly extraordinary. What is happening in a world where a 41-year-old scriptwriter who despises sport becomes the greatest athlete who ever lived, and the Virgin Mary tangles with the Peace Corps? From England to the Philippines, from the Middle East to South America, the stories portray a world far stranger and less governed than we might care to admit.
