Most pieces adopt a well-recognized format – for example a catalogue essay for an exhibition, a book review or an item of sports correspondence – but at the same time they incorporate incongruous elements or attempt to see things from inverted perspectives. For example, “The Hudson Variation” is a review of a book about chess hooliganism, while “Whipping Boys” imagines the criminal memoir written from the view point of professional victims, and ‘The George Carnegie Award’ is a critical review of the writers shortlisted for the best use of a semicolon in the English language. Witty, trenchantly funny, flittingly flirting with genres as diverse as poetry, philosophy, biography, cookery books, volumes on municipal architecture, government investigations into national disasters and technical manuals, “Sunsets and Dogshits” occupies a unique place in modern fiction and is destined to become a classic of its kind.”,”url”:”https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1846880459/”,”bookFormat”:”http://schema.org/EBook”,”additionalType”:”http://schema.org/PDF”,”fileSize”:”59 MB”,”accessibilityFeature”:[“login required”,”member access only”],”accessibilitySummary”:”PDF version available to authenticated members only.
