Accept Clive Sinclair's invitation, and you will embark upon an expedition led by none other than Odysseus, still desperately seeking Penelope. His reluctant amanuensis is a fat reporter called Pumpkin, who is transformed from a dictator's lapdog into an Homeric bard, one who literally writes out of his skin.Accept this invitation and you will cross paths with the Lone Ranger, and Wyatt Earp, the most famous lawman of them all. And meet the latter's voluptuous wife, whose portrait on the cover may or may not be a true likeness. She also happens to be the double of someone else's missing spouse, a coincidence that raises deadly questions about identity. In the world you are about to enter no surface remains static for long.In Meet the Wife Clive Sinclair takes the reader on a scintillating and decidedly modern journey through love, jealousy, death and the afterlife. The dazzled reader won't know whether to laugh or cry
