The Purple Petty Patty Pans

By Geraint Bojé

Rumours have spread that a small tribe inhabited and cultivated an unknown island off the coast of Papua New Guinea. While the village loses confidence in their leader, tension and factions rise in his stead.

Said rumours reached the ears of two administrators, Art and James, who set off on an adventure to discover and census the unknown village. On their way, they befriend an aspiring yet eccentric writer, Cedric, to aid their journey. However, nothing is ever as it seems when the rigmarole that is life riddles the village and its unwelcome guests with awkward encounters, uncomfortable predicaments, philosophical questions and what appears to be a never-ending nonsensical skit.

Will this adventure duo, comprising three travellers, resolve the village conundrum? Can they locate the missing son? Are philosophers merely psychedelic stoners? Will anyone attend Smart Dave's sober raves? Who the hell is The Captain anyway?

By turns absurd, incisive, and unexpectedly moving, The Purple Petty Patty Pans skewers modern escapism, pseudo-freedom, and the stories we tell ourselves to avoid responsibility, asking whether meaning can truly be found by running away.

Perfect for readers who enjoy:
Satirical literary fiction
Philosophical humour
Dark comedy with heart
Surreal, character-driven stories
