“Very funny, odd, clever, brimming with interesting characters and excellent dialogue, made me laugh out loud… I can’t stop thinking about it.”
Terry Gilliam
A gently anarchic oddbod loses a succession of jobs while being drawn into an epic battle between the forces of good and evil.
Fired is a burlesque epic set in a world out of joint, a heroic journey of unself-discovery, a forgiving study of contemporary minds at the end of their tether, a heart-cooling, life-denying violin sonata as Rome burns, a good old fashioned supernatural love-story, an anarchic moonwalk into the Other Place and a black, situational comedy, in the tradition of English losers gloriously, pointlessly and pathetically fighting a battle they cannot win.
Nothing like Fired exists today — except the world itself.
FIRED is available in my online bookshop here. It is also available on Amazon, on most online bookshop websites and you can order it from your local bookshop (which is the better option). Please leave a review somewhere once you’ve read it, it might help someone looking for a book worth reading.
