About the Author

Erik Ryman is the author of a novel, God's Game, which was nominated for the 1999 Booker Prize, but never won it; a collection of short stories, The Tsetsefly Chronicles that came from a highly visited web site, that is no longer around and is a noted artist who can't draw. His work has been compared (favourably) to the films of David Lynch and Quentin Tarantino, the poetry of Jeremy Reed and the fiction of JD Sallinger, Douglas Coupland, Terry Pratchet and Irvine Walsh, but he has never taken it personally.

Reviews

"For sheer everyday weirdness of the kind that rarely makes it to print, it's book of the month on Pulp.net, and hang the Booker nominations" - Pulp.net "I can see it as a Channel 4 programme, scaring Daily Mail readers shitless" - Ian Bahlaj, Laura Hird
