Information

Loveable...Dreadful...Amazing...Learned...Baroque...Exquisite...Utterly wonderful...Uplifting...Stupendously Acute...Very scary...Genuinely mad...Having written acclaimed biographies of uncompromising and glittering geniuses such as Peter Sellers, Laurence Olivier, Carry On star Charles Hawtrey, and Anthony Burgess, of A Clockwork Orange fame, Roger Lewis, rotund, dark and difficult, has at long last stumbled upon the greatest monster of all - himself.As with bestselling and beloved Seasonal Suicide Notes, in this new book Lewis has produced a funny and appalling self-portrait, crammed with his clashes and frustrations.

Praise for Seasonal Suicide Notes: -- by Roger Lewis This is comedy of a rare quality. Lewis is a seriously funny man. -- Sunday Express Seasonal Suicide Notes is the most brilliantly funny and genuinely thought-provoking book of the year. -- Sunday Times Roger Lewis is a genius writer, and he knows it. -- Lynn Barber He makes me cry with laughter - I really cried, blubbering and sniffling and gasping. Roger Lewis is a magnificently bilious comic genius. -- Francis Wheen This is one of the funniest books you will ever read. And the most reckless. If you like black comedy you'll find yourself in Narnia. -- Spectator If they ever award gold medals for comic genius Roger Lewis will be a shoo-in for gold. -- Mail on Sunday The perfect Christmas present is already on the shelves. It is the funniest, truest, most engaging thing I've read all year. -- Times These sulphurous round-robins are not just cry-makingly funny; there are also arresting insights into literature and life, with flashes of beautiful seriousness. -- Daily Telegraph
