Am I Missing Something ...?

More about the book

This annual collection features a selection of readers' letters that were too outrageous, witty, or unconventional to appear in the pages of the Telegraph. The letters showcase a range of humorous observations, such as inquiries about the Duchess of Cambridge's hospital gown design and cost, reflections on the meaning of "sede vacante," and a devoted husband's request for more household help. Other correspondents express their desire for unconventional episodes of popular shows and comment on political matters with a blend of bemusement and wit. Despite the prevalence of modern communication methods like texting and tweeting, the Telegraph's letters page remains a unique platform for articulate and thoughtful discourse. Regular contributors find writing to the Telegraph a way to vent their frustrations, and this collection highlights the cleverness and insight of its writers. The fifth volume presents a humorous alternative review of the year, covering topics from political scandals to royal events, demonstrating that the Telegraph's letter writers have a keen sense of what truly matters in contemporary discourse.
