There’s an unsurprising amount of obscenity in this book, but it saves itself by also being funny. A collection of short stories, first published in 2001, Bizzarre, uncompromising and hilarious. You might remember Alexie Sayle from his participation in ‘The Young Ones’ and if so you will know what to expect.In ‘A Cure for Death’ Edmund Chive is 169 years old and barelly alive – he is being ferried by private plane to the giant laboratory complex that he had had constructed on the outskirts of Milton Kwiksave in Berkshire. “For godsake inject me, there’s not much time le-‘ said Edmund and then he died. But that’s not the end as he journeys on to the after-life he never believed in where he meets all his relatives, but there is one final irony in store.I’m sure Sayle is a much nicer person in real life, but in ‘Clive Hole’ his protagonist is a man in a fairly high-up position in the Media, who just cannot make decisions of which programmes and series’ he should send forward for development. As a result he resorts to climbing into his office window to avoid anyone who might force him into making decisions. As you might think, things don’t go well for him.All of these stories are nothing special, but it is the writing that is thoroughly enjoyable. Though it sometimes descends into a bit of a rant, and is even more enjoyable.  In ‘Barcelona Chairs rupert (he insists that his name is not capitalisted) he has a go at modern architects:“It had dawned on him after seven years of university and fifteen years of private practice…that the big b******* of the building world, the Richard Rogers and the Norman Fosters, the work tended to be of the piddling kind. Mostly, in rupert’s case it was too rich, too little taste, private clients who spoilt his grand designs by whining about mundane practicalities, demanding shelves to put their horrible knick-knacks on and ruining his spatial flow by insisting on stupid things like walls and doors…”Great writing this is not, but it is very funny, very sharp and positioned at a time in the future when all the ‘victims’ he attacks certainly are still relevant today.
