Astrotruckers

Forget The Hitchhiker's Guide, this is the only handbook you need to navigate your way through the goings on of outer space.

What do you say to an intellectually superior fistular maggot who wants to observe you watching football?

What happens when you switch your android's personality setting to 'humour'?

Discover the most popular and most pungent Earth mementos taken into space and illuminate the murkiest areas of human knowledge: the meaning of the oldest writing in the universe, who set off the big bang, the catalyst for the death of literature and, of course, how the world will end.

Poetic, grotesque, hilarious, disgusting and visionary, Astrotruckers will reveal all this and more.

Reviews

Funny and imaginative

—— Dazed and Confused

A jaw-dropping, gobsmacking wonder of a book

—— SFX

Mere Anarchy breaks a 27-year drought for fans of Allen the literary prankster. It more than justifies the wait... His stories are delicious confections: virtuoso turns, tipsy on their own linguistic ingenuity

—— Independent

If Allen had lived in Augustan England scholars would now be considering him alongisde Dryden, Pope and Swift

—— Daily Telegraph

Touched by genius

—— Glasgow Herald

He is surely a genius in that he has created his own unique recognisable world

—— Sunday Times

Wonderfully funny ... meticulously crafted

—— Time Out

Hayles turns a wry, detached eye on the superficially reasonable ambitions of those driven insane by modern life...Hayles has a nicely twisted mind

—— Tribune

Finely offbeat...original, dark, sick, nasty...and often hilarious

—— Sunday Sport

Damned funny. Sharp, punchy, writing, well executed ideas and lashings of irony make for a gripping read

—— Knave Magazine

Very good indeed. Flinty, fiery and funny

—— Independent on Sunday

Poignant and wonderful story...concentrates, without effort, all Malouf's themes...it needs to be read

—— Prospect
