Items related to My Idea of Fun
An offbeat novel from an exponent of dirty magical realism. When Mr Broadhurst got his psychic teeth into Ian Wharton - aged 11 - he just wouldn't let go. The result is that now Ian's idea of fun isn't quite the sort of thing to be expected of a 30-something marketing consultant in London.

'No one else I can think of writes about contemporary Britain with such elan, energy and witty intelligence. Rejoice' (Nicholas Lezard, Guardian)
'Written with diabolical gusto and skill' (Evening Standard)
'Vastly entertaining' (The Times)
