Description
– Bob Mortimer
“As a comedian, Bob Mortimer spins a shaggy-dog story like nobody else, and this is a rollicking old-school yarn.” – The Guardian
“Mortimer’s verbal specificity and off-kilter humour will keep his fans chuckling.” – The Times
Meet Gary Thorn. He’s a man at a crossroads:
-
Stay in London with his safe legal job, friendly neighbour Grace (and her pie-loving dog Lassoo)…
-
Or follow his girlfriend Emily to Brighton, where she’s about to open The Hotel Avocado.
Either way, someone’s bound to get let down.
But just as Gary wrestles with his choices, darker clouds gather. Sinister figures appear through launderette-scented vape smoke, and the arrival of the enigmatic Mr Sequence makes things far worse. Suddenly, Gary isn’t just choosing between pies and avocados—he’s fighting to stay alive.
All Gary wants is a happy life. But first, he needs to survive long enough to enjoy it.
Warning: this book contains
Heavy crimes, car journeys, dreadfulness, large fruits, romance, planning applications… and a lot of pie.
A brilliantly funny, offbeat, and surprisingly tense novel from beloved comedian Bob Mortimer.
