Synopsis

ENTER RICHARD CRAVEN'S BRISTOL ONCE MORE - A DARKLY COMIC URBAN MAZE WHERE WILDLY ABSURD MISADVENTURES COLLIDE WITH SHARP WIT, UNEXPECTED REVERSALS, AND A SPLASH OF THE MACABRE.

In this second volume of Richard Craven’s Bristolian Chronicles, meet dissipated parrot architect Hawksmoor Perroquet as he arrives in Bristol and promptly succumbs to a ketamine frenzy at the Anarchist Bookfair, during which he sells his wife, brainless budgerigar Arabella Melopsittica, and their egg to a passing ornithologist. Prompted by his remorse to eschew equine tranquilizers, in his newfound sobriety he commences his ascent of the greasy pole of human endeavour. His progress towards the dizzy heights of the Bristol Mayoralty is aided by the machinations of depressive provincial merchant banker Sir Hearty Luncheon, but then his wife and presumed daughter rematerialise, precipitating his usurpation by genial Scottish crow Ian Corby, and a headlong descent into drugs and disgrace.

Equally recalling the grandiosity of Greek tragedy and the squalor of low burlesque satire, Pretty Poli ploughs the Bristolian grand guignol furrow sown by the similarly lewd but literary Amoeba Dick.
