Summary

Critically acclaimed author Alexei Sayle introduces the curious tale of MISTER ROBERTS in his most funny and poignant novel yet.

Mister Roberts Summary

Mister Roberts by Alexei Sayle

Above a small village in Spain, an English costume designer sees a bright shining star lurch abruptly across the sky.On Christmas Day a strong, silent man with blank eyes enters Bar Noche Azul.
Only a thirteen year old boy could have guessed that there was any connection between the two.
Wonderfully inventive, darkly funny and thoughtful, MISTER ROBERTS is both an original coming-of-age story and an unusual take on the corrupting influence of power.

Mister Roberts Reviews

'Ridiculously entertaining' * The Times *
'A deliciously barmy, yet affecting cautionary tale...the considered, pitch-perfect prose of a talented novelist who also happens to have a wildly perverse imagination, and a store of beautifully delivered one-liners.' * Scotsman *
Among the very few comedians to write fiction which can be taken seriously as literature . . . It's also extremely funny. * Independent on Sunday *
Brains, wit and welcome absurdity...there is also a surprising amount of warmth * Guardian *
'Full of inventive comedy' * Herald *
Hilariously bonkers * Red *
