About the Book

Set against the backdrop of the Baghdad by the Bay this comedic novel follows the exploits and misadventures of a singular individual with nothing to distinguish himself from the millions of his fellow inhabitants except he is the greatest failure in The City. Not that he doesn't try, try so very hard but somehow things never quite work out for him. Nothing ever changes or gets better and as he looks out over the landscape of his future he sees nothing but a dismal succession of days spent in endless futility His name is Jack, not a bad name as four letters go but for Jack today is different. Something big is about to happen, some looming event ahead of him that is going to change everything. A vague sense of mounting dread follows Jack as he makes his way through the labyrinth of The City towards the big event that will end his life as he knows it. Along the way he meets: * A brilliant but defeated English Literature graduate who spends her life as a zookeeper for thirty screaming monkeys five periods a day * The progeny of successful and indulgent parents who give their daughter everything except their time and attention preferring to send her to analysts for her emotional upbringing and who as an adult becomes the bad result of the best psychoanalysis money can buy * A merciless and homicidal thug who quotes John Stuart Mill word perfect * A small child crippled from birth who uses every bit of her puny willpower to contract herself into a hard, impenetrable and invisible ball while relentlessly tormented by her classmates and is against all odds and expectations transformed by the one person who is able to see beyond her disabilities * A vulgar and unhelpful city bus driver who is the reincarnation of the poet Virgil * The demented artist unknown to the world as she keeps her door barricaded against international art thieves while mountains of her finished canvases pile up around her inside her cramped efficiency apartment as her lunacy is furthered by breathing in the toxic fumes of paints and solvents, the low hanging smog of cigarette smoke and the heat of her fevered exertions * A young man so full of life and bright purpose who has discovered the secret to the meaning of life and is eagerly ready to share it with anyone who will listen except he's been dead for decades * Many more *
