TOPICS ABOUT WHICH I KNOW NOTHING N/E PB B FORMAT – PATRICK NESS

Scintillating, surprising, inventive fiction from one of the most talented writers in Britain – this is a superb collection of short stories from the acclaimed author of the Chaos Walking series and ‘More Than This’. Have you heard the urban myth about Jesus s double-jointed elbows yet? 100% true. Or seen the latest reports on the groomgrabbing trend – the benevolent kidnapping of badly-dressed children by their well-meaning (and more dapper) elders? Heard the one about the Amazon from the Isle of Man? Or perhaps you d like a job in telesales, offering self-defence classes over the phone? 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.
