Six Degrees Of Stupidity

Beschreibung

Underemployed graphic designer Tony Boaks creates a coat of arms for Guy LeSnide, a QC ('like a lawyer, but even more so') with monumental delusions of grandeur. Before settling his bill however, LeSnide's delusions turn to madness and he retreats to the fictional English region of Wester - a dense and murky area only accessible by canal. Unwilling to let madness be an excuse for non-payment, Tony sets out on an epic quest to track him down, narrow-boating into Wester's heart of darkness and taking the spikey unrequited love of his life, LaFlamme, along for the ride. Encounters with a psychotic ventriloquist dummy, a deviant gastrophile and a professional beard-reader are just some of the weirdnesses to expect in this delightfully quirky satire set in a fantastical comic universe.

Autor

Greg Moodie is the author of Cool Scots, a psychedelic reimagining of Scotland's rich and varied past; Borrowing Burns, a semi-fictional or "factually dubious" account of the making of his series of Tam O' Shanter murals; and three comic compendiums, Greg Moodie Versus The Union, Election Dissection and Striptease. Six Degrees Of Stupidity is his second novel, but the first in print. He regularly threatens to publish its predecessor, The Unbearable Stupidity Of Being. Technically Dundonian, he currently resides in The Enchanted State of Torphichen (population 570), a conservation village and imaginary island sanctuary in central Scotland. He won Torphichen Citizen of the Year in 2016 "for bringing disrepute to the community".
