“Puppeymen, a pygmy hunt, a flaky pyrotechnicist, an assassination, a crucifixion; a man with metal in his head and a dentist with nasty habits; sick sex and ill winds. It can only be Jonathan Meades. You are advised to heed the author’s warning: ‘After using this book please wash your hands.'”

‘An extraordinary work, peopled by the repellent, dwelling on the vile and yet done with so deft and brilliant a touch: a picnic in the heart of darkness. The writing is clever and complex, multi-layered and funny.’ NEW STATESMAN
