"Anthony McGowan is a man at odds with the universe. Stumbling from one improbable fiasco to the next, he patrols the mean streets of West Hampstead like some unholy cross between Columbo, J. Alfred Prufrock and a common tramp, pondering the very stuff of life itself. For McGowan that's holed socks, unsatisfactory packed lunches, broken washing machines, Kierkegaard, the eccentricities of the British Library, liver salts, Morrissey and disapproving ladies on trains."--

Review of 'The art of failing' on 'Goodreads'

It's funny and I enjoy reading it but it's best read in small chunks of giggles. I'm leaving it laying around as a book to grab for a 5 minute chuckle of a read.
