Don't worry, as long as you meet the weekly quota, you won't be sent to the end of the hall...
Wonderfully original, fresh and funny, Topics About Which I know Nothing is stuffed to the gills with dizzyingly inventive writing and warming, puzzling emotions – a fictional guide to how the world might have turned out.

Review:
From the Author:
Praise for THE CRASH OF HENNINGTON:
'A wholly original, hugely enjoyable first novel... Interweaving gorgeously fresh characters and a wagonload of parallel plots, this is the product of a heart-warmingly deranged new voice.' Guardian
‘Patrick Ness recreates the world as we know it, infusing it with a charm and whimsy that brings to mind Calvino and, of course, the Ionesco of “Rhinoceros”. This is a true changeling of a book, both funny and subversive.’ T.C. Boyle
'I can't remember reading a novel in such a compulsive, leave-me-in-peace way since Tales From the City. More please!' Patrick Gale
'Ménages à trois, miracles and thwarted love – this is a very humane and entertaining tale' Observer
'A very funny novel, with its own indefinable flavour' Time Out
'A fun and intriguing read... Ness is a refreshingly big-hearted writer in these days of easy cynicism and cleverness.' Toronto Star
'Rich, complex, surprisingly wise... I'm eager to learn where Patrick Ness's imagination will take us next.' Toronto Globe & Mail
New fiction by the author of The Crash of Hennington
