The Case of the Missing Books (The Mobile Library)

Product Description

REVIEWS FOR RING ROAD: A Tristram Shandy for our times The tone is part elegy, part satire, part howl and very, very funny. I laughed more times than I can remember over a novel for years Ring Road is well-observed and endlessly inventive, with all the messiness of a real place. Sansoms deadpan voice throws up jokes on every page. ObserverCalls to mind two other outstanding novels: Tristram Shandyand Joseph Hellers Catch-22 One of those rare books that, once picked up, proves very difficult to put down. The Irish IndependentWonderfully vivid, easy, natural, funny and moving. Oliver SacksA wonderfully comic novel. Daily MailIt reminds me most of Jerome K. Jerome Mellow, intelligent and very funny, a perfect antidote for melancholy. Michael Moorcock, GuardianThere is something fearless in the gaze Sansom turns on banality, and this novel is, in the end, a surprisingly gripping feat of coming to terms with what ordinary life is like. TLS About the Author Ian Sansom is the author of the Mobile Library and County Guides series of novels. He writes for the Guardian, the TLS, and the Spectator and is a regular broadcaster on BBC Radio 3 and Radio 4. He lives in County Down.
