Hardcover. (Why does Mr Kipling bake such exceedingly good cakes? Is Jeremy Beadle really the devil incarnate? This adventure takes the reader to the epicentre of the consumer world where mono-maniacs and saddos overindulge in lottery tickets, burgers, CD Roms and Eurotrash.Toby Litt's short stories range from pure capitalism (after winning the lottery, a man refuses to believe people and only believes adverts) to urban fantasy (a ghost in a laundrette). His writing is deft and rapid-fire; the way in which these stories flow so eagerly from page to page will make it hard to put this book down. The shorter stories are delicious little comtemporary fables, to be savoured while sitting on buses or in the middle of shopping trips; the longer ones are clever and original uses of short fiction). These are USED books. Please only purchase if you are happy with that. Images & Editions We use stock images and database descriptions based on the ISBN.
