Mixing the hapless humour of "How To Lose Friends & Alienate People" with the obsessional everyman appeal of "High Fidelity", this is Clare's account of his failed attempts to get his novel published. Trade paperback.
Synopsis
Tim Clare had always dreamed of greatness; of writing a critically-acclaimed bestseller and quitting the rat-race of everyday life. The problem was that his friends had got there first and he was... well... nowhere. Seething with envy, single and still living with his parents, he decided to have one last shot at getting his masterpiece published.
