Read by Alexei Sayle
Alexei Sayle’s new collection of stories ranges from southern Spain to the Cotswolds via the Soviet Union and features (among others) a group of ex-patriots, several cyclists, sundry television executives, an architect, a bunch of pirates, Joseph Stalin and a person called Porlock.

His first collection, Barcelona Plates was published to huge acclaim:
‘Barcelona Plates will put a smile on your face and a chill down your spine’ Time Out
‘Theses stories are eventful, high-energy, unpredictable, implausible yarns, full of swearing, cars, guns and knives, alcohol, violence and mad people. And they’re also very funny’ Independent
‘An excellent collection of dark, funny and bizarre short stories… brutally, cynically and honestly written’ Loaded
‘There is not a single disappointment among the 14 tales here. In a criminally neglected genre, Alexei Sayle has just turned out to be one of the masters’ Big Issue
‘One is struck by his acute observation, his savage humour, his ability to fill a page with more ideas than most people use for a whole book’ Scotland on Sunday
