Customer Reviews

Great stuff: Mark tells it how it is.

Just like to point out that although this book was not publicised widely it managed to win the most lucrative literary prize on offer at the moment, the AT & T prize, beating Nelson Mandella, and a whole other bunch of literati. His previous book won the Somerset Maugham Award and the Thomas Cook Travel writing award. He has a novel coming out this year.

A good book bought by accident

I bought this book at a reading that I had attended because of another completely unrelated author (Penrose). Mark Hudson brilliantly read from his book. Yet I still wasn't interested. However, when I approached the table where Penrose and he were standing and signing their book, he started automatically signing one for me. I vaguely tried to tell him I did not want to buy his book but it was too embarassing. One year later I am reading it and find it a very good, intelligent and sensitive book. Too bad it did not receive more publicity
