Freeze! Armed Farm Animals! by Gary James
|
Whether
he’s dodging feral children armed with air rifles, confusing Olbus Oil
with a sixties soul singer, or merely contemplating life from the back
seat of the wrong bus home, Gary James tackles life with all the boundless
and occasionally destructive enthusiasm of a gormless dog. He is
spiralling helplessly towards middle age, out of a long-term relationship
and into a confusing new world of blind dates and duvet covers that fight
back. In
times of trouble, or whenever he can fool someone into thinking they are
going to a theme park for the day, he takes to the hills of his beloved
Yorkshire, where all roads lead to a muddy field and a missing trouser leg
and, more often than not, a mysteriously aggressive farm animal. Freeze!
Armed Farm Animals! is a glorious symphony of everyday
disasters and small time triumphs, a delicious celebration of life, love,
and the unsung joy of sitting in gloomy cafes in damp socks. 244 pages paperback. Available to buy here
