Desperanto is the universal language of despair. It is spoken by the hopeless, learned by the luckless and sung by the broken armies of losers, lovers and lefties everywhere. It is the literary language of the More or Less Deceived.
With a bit of help from William Blake, Jake Thackray, Philip Larkin and Georges Perec, Mike Wilson offers a beginner's guide to the emotional grammar of Desperanto, where defeat is a regular verb, hope declines, and the future is always conditional.
Combining traditional form and formal experiment, playground wit and serious jokes, politics, people and poetry, Desperanto is a primer of crossed lines, crossed swords, cross words, crosswords and the c-word. It is a rough guide to the dialects of despair and self-deceit spoken in punland, funland, bling-land, England and the strange kingdom of Hinterland, whose citizens rarely mean what they say or say what they mean. Desperanto without tears.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Mike Wilson is a writer and musician. He has written over 80 books for reluctant-reader teenagers and beginner-readers. Musical credits include a one-man show of Jake Thackray songs and Teeth Like Razors, a theatre-piece about the lives and works of Brecht, Weill and Eisler. He recently toured the UK with the Curt Collective, performing live soundtracks to the silent-film classics Nanook of the North and Finis Terrae. He lives in Nottingham with his wife and son. Desperanto is his first collection.
