Synopsis
After George retires at 61, a tiny spot on his hip convinces him that he has cancer. That's not all that's going wrong in his life: his wife is cheating on him, his daughter is about to marry yet another loser, his gay son doesn't think his dad can handle his sexual identity, and George is gradually losing his marbles. Mark Haddon dips into each family member's mind, capturing the idiosyncrasies of the human psyche with the same deft and humorous insight that made THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME such a success.

Industry Reviews
"Like Nick Park, the mastermind behind WALLACE & GROMIT, [Mark] Haddon trades in a cheerful, quirky, life-goes-on drabness that's particularly English. And totally brilliant."
(09/17/2006)

"It's an odd, slight plot--something like the movie FATHER OF THE BRIDE crossed with Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" (as skin rash)--but it zips along, and Haddon subtly pulls it all together with sparkling asides and a genuine sympathy for his poor [characters]. No bother at all, this comic follow-up to Haddon's blockbuster...is great fun."
