Produktbeschreibung
In a world where cats and dogs act like people, absurdity reigns supreme. Beneath the glittering crystal-chandelier glamour of Ruen, a bitter conflict brews between its Ruling Council and rebellious youth. Sent to investigate, Oscar Teabag-Dooven-earless, self-doubting and more poet than secret agent-finds the city poised to tear itself apart. Worse still, those causing the trouble are the ones running the place. Drawn into a scandal of greed, lunacy and blackmail, Oscar teams up with Dervy, a young revolutionary, and Horace, an elderly doctor with a phobia of worming ointments. Together, they must outwit the ruthless Sedervitz Tappen-Noo and the unhinged Pyjami before their audacious plan turns Ruen into a giant, malodorous toilet. Unfortunately, things don't go according to plan. Principally because they don't have one. Welcome to the New Fable fiction genre, where fluffy just got dangerous. "Good writing can only take you so far. These books take you considerably further, and then leave you behind." - Daniella Dragosi, Unimpressed. "I recall finding my divorce papers a more compelling read." - Russell Piorre, Divorced. "These books have plots so thin that I actually broke one." - David Micheal Milan, Nineteenth Century Industrialist.
Autorenporträt
Thomas Corfield was born in London several years ago, definitely before last Thursday. This was a good year for all concerned, and for him in particular, because without it, later years would mean little. He owes a lot to that first year and now lives because of it in undisclosed locations after having successfully absconded from probation. Although he finds making friends difficult, this is only because no one likes him, including his mother, who didn't bother giving him a name until he was nine. His solicitor describes him as having an allergy to apostrophes and an aversion to punctuation that borders on pathological. This makes the popularity of his books all the more remarkable-at least it would if there was any. But there isn't, so it doesn't. He was recently interviewed in Joomag's Meals of Food magazine, which didn't help anyone. He does, however, have a PhD in Forensic Odontology, which on occasion has.
