Pub Walks in Underhill Country - Softcover

Such a brilliant idea for a comic novel, you wonder why nobody's thought of it before (Charlie Higson)

A terrific debut novel: often funny, occasionally dark, always engaging (Patrick Neate)

Segnit brilliantly mimics the orotund style of the self-published pamphleteer... [he] gets the tone of pedantry, censoriousness and romanticism spot on, and is capable of a truly Wordsworthian turn of phrase...Peruse this fine volume and receive ample compensation for your efforts (Guardian)

A metafictional escapade...has both Nabokov and Alan Partridge as its forebears (Daily Telegraph)

Has echoes of Mike Leigh's best films and Paul Torday's smash debut, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (Hephzibah Anderson Daily Mail)

If Vladimir Nabokov had written episodes of The Archers (with a little script advice from W G Sebald), then he might just have struck a note that chimed with the peculiar music of this beguiling first novel. Segnit cuts a swathe through the precious solemnity of the new British nature writing. Ambitious, ingenious...introduces a writer with a keen eye, broad horizons and a spring in his step (Independent)

It's a neat idea and Segnit is a wryly comic writer. An enjoyable ramble (Metro)

A witty tale...a comic exploration of real and personal landscape (Vogue)

Graham is a pathetically, often hilariously, unreliable guide; a semi-tragic figure who brings to mind TS Eliot's J Alfred Prufrock in his nervous digressions (Observer)

A really quirky, affecting book, and I've yet to meet someone not entranced by the opening (Scotsman)
