Another wonderful book by Paul Micou

I snap up and read everything by Paul Micou and love them all. The Music Programme is up there at the top of the list. If you like this, read The Death of David Debrizzi and the Cover Artist. Then push them on your friends. Maybe Paul Micou will get the recognition he deserves.

Ignore "Publishers Weakly" - Awesome, Funny Story

I've read this book twice now. This story is destined for film if the right director picks it up. Mr. Micou takes you into the bosom of a collection of loveable, absurd, contemptible little people and leaves you pretty much loving something about all of them. We learn that "we are paid, therefore we are" can be a pretty good justification for continuing to suck in air despite our own doubts about why we do what we do. The narrative that leads up to O'Connors detection in the French ambassador's house almost made me wet myself. A wonderful book.
