'The funniest book in the English language .' Richard Osman Michael
Frayn's classic novel is set in the crossword and nature notes
department of an obscure national newspaper during the declining
years of Fleet Street, where John Dyson dreams wistfully of fame
and the gentlemanly life - until one day his great chance of glory
at last arrives. Michael Frayn is the celebrated author of fifteen
plays including Noises Off, Copenhagen and Afterlife. His
bestselling novels include Headlong, which was shortlisted for the
Man Booker Prize, Spies, which won the Whitbread Best Novel Award
and Skios, which was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize. 'Still
ranks with Evelyn Waugh's Scoop as one of the funniest novels about
journalists ever written.' Sunday Times 'A sublimely funny comedy
about the ways newspapers try to put lives into words.' Spectator
