The Making Of Mr Bolsover Zusammenfassung

The Making Of Mr Bolsover Cornelius Medvei

NAME: Lynch, Andrew (b. 16.10.1958); a.k.a. 'Mr Bolsover'

CAREER: civil servant, librarian, columnist, local councillor, revolutionary

RECREATIONS: shooting squirrels, skinning rabbits, cooking with rats

ADDRESS: present whereabouts unknown; last sighted in South Downs woodland close to the A275

PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS: cataloguing systems, hermits, badger welfare, troglodytes, revolutionary politics

But a Who's Who entry can reveal only so much. Like all the great political lives - Churchill, Disraeli, Gladstone, Genghis Khan - Bolsover's is one of incident, drama and passion.

From the calm of Uckfield library to the demands of high office, a life on the run and a final confrontation with the authorities, The Making of Mr Bolsover is a moving, epic tale of a modern misfit and a political biography like no other.

The Making Of Mr Bolsover Bewertungen

A minor masterpiece of the deadpan... a very, very funny book... genuinely original and written with understated intelligence * Sunday Telegraph *
Very funny and charming -- Kate Saunders * The Times *
A brilliant parody... Blending the sublime with the suburban produces some of the best humour, and Medvei has it down to a fine art -- Stephen Coulson * Lady *
An exploration of how myths are engendered as much as it is a whimsical satire of political ambition... Very much in love with the Sussex countryside that it so beautifully evokes... Assured, precise prose -- Philip Womack * Literary Review *
a master-piece of writing -- Mags Fisk * Nudge Book *
