Over ten years in the making, DON'T BUY THIS BOOK IF YOU'RE STUPID, is the dazzling collection of short fiction by Tibor Fischer, containing stories published in GRANTA, NEW WRITING and the TLS, as well as several new stories and a novella, and should not be seen in any way as a contractual fulfilment by a burned-out novelist who can only get it up for a few pages at a time. The novella 'Tweezers' takes the lid off the comedy scene in London, investigates where jokes come from and how you can make people laugh with only one toothpick and a foreskin. Other stories will visit Brixton Prison and German bookshops, contemplate the tanning of Russian bottoms on the Cote D'Azur, offer advice on driving during Romanian revolutions, explain what to do with fifty uselessnesses, give tips on successful and painless serial killing, detail the author's relationship with Princess Di and demonstrate conclusively that no one should live in South London. Tibor Fischer lives in South London.
Die Inhaltsangabe kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.
A series of humourous short stories starting in misery and dropping towards despair. One character has a quest to read every book ever written in English, devouring them two at a time. The aphoristic tales are sandwiched between two novellas and deliver an apocalyptic vision with a grim smile.
