The novel follows the life of the character Rob Jordan and is
divided into three sections; Shouting to myself, Nine out of ten
videos are shit and Because of the ants. In the first section, set
in 1994, Rob is a struggling newly qualified teacher; lonely and
frustrated at home and depressed at work. In section two, in 1999,
Rob has been promoted to the dole and spends his time fantasising
about murdering his vicar flatmate, whilst becoming involved in an
ill-fated love triangle. The last section, set in 2004, sees Rob on
the run and a series of flashbacks reveal that he has killed a man.
The tone is comic but the novel does attempt to deal with
contemporary issues. At a rough estimate, there is a profound slice
of wisdom about every six gags. Six and a half maximum. And if you
are still not convinced, if you do read a more amusing book about
teaching or being on the dole this millennium, you get a free
rabbit in a nut. Guaranteed.
