AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Richard Glover′s deeply skewed stories of everyday life are heard each week on ABC radio′s ′Thank God It′s Friday′. He creates a world which is both weird and wry–a world in which Henry VIII provides marriage advice, JD Salinger celebrates tap-water and naked French women bring forth a medical miracle. It′s also a world in which shampoo is eschewed, the second-rate is praised and George Clooney′s haircut can help save a relationship. Bizarre yet commonplace, funny yet relatable, absurd yet oddly warm-hearted, in Richard Glover′s hands you′ll experience the true strangeness of the life you are living right now. INCLUDES: The Bin-It List: 25 things to avoid before you die.' (Publisher's blurb)
