This is a book for anyone who has railed against the power, politics and inhumanity of our world. It portrays the beauty and the ills of our planet and of our lives, with enormous poetic wit and humour.

An incredibly funny look at life, said with pathos, giving you the constructive power to make life changes. ‘RIP’ says it all, it should be everyone’s epitaph.

This is the book we should all take to our desert islands.
