Review
'Adam Ford takes posties, poets and a big bad dog and delivers us a storyfull of deft observations, real humour and exactly the right amount of everyday human frailty. I know these people so well now, I'm convinced I've already had a drink with them.' -- NICK EARLSkept me hooked all the way through Hassan, 16yrs on YARA website.

Product Description
Steven has just crossed the Imaginary Line into the Real World and now he's delivering mail. He goes to the pub, he watches Murder, She Wrotewith Gina, he listens to Wayne's performance poetry ...he's coasting.Until three unexpected figures flip him headfirst over his handlebars. First there's Satan, the doberman from hell, who wants to know if posties really do taste like chicken. Then there's Emma, the comic-reading poet, who might teach Steven something about relationships - if they can make it last more than a week. Finally there's Mrs Abigail Fraser, the Scottish banshee, who accuses him of murder and puts his postal career at risk.Can Steven clear his name? Is friendship more important than sex? And why isn't real life more like American television?An urban comic detective tale of life, love and getting your shit together.'Adam Ford takes posties, poets and a big bad dog and delivers us a story full of deft observations, real humour and exactly the right amount of everyday human frailty.' Nick Earls

5.0 out of 5 stars Adam Ford is a magnificent b******., 21 Jun 2004
By Grant Balfour (West Palm Beach, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Why was this book not out earlier? Why was Mr. Ford not there to warn me what my 20s would be like? He is a deeply funny man, who has written a deeply true book about our deeply weird times. The comics excerpts within the book alone are worth the cover price.
