Description
Brian is determined to change his life for the better and he is convinced that poetry will be his salvation – every day for a year, he will write a poem. But when he joins the local Poetry Club he soon finds himself in over his head. Described by Jonathan Coe as a ‘laugh-out-loud comedy of suburban despair‘, Diary of a Somebody is a truly original novel, interspersed with hilarious poems on the mundane and the profound.
