Sinopse

Mr Carter and Miss Dolly Foster talk — about her engagement, his losses, other people's marriages — in a series of dialogues in which nothing is said outright and everything is understood. Hope was a barrister who thought up The Prisoner of Zenda walking home from a court case and wrote it in a month; these 1894 sketches are the other half of his talent, and they are as good as light writing gets. Forty-one plates of painting by Tissot and Millais, from tea-table gossip to drawing-room encounters, catch the social comedy of these London dialogues.

    The sequel nobody wants. After a decade of the Tories, could it get any worse? Spoiler – it does. 
     
    Towards the end of 2021, Britain had been frogmarched into an escalating series of surreal calamities. Brexit was a disaster, the NHS was in crisis, the government was bathed head-to-toe in impropriety, senior Tories were still acting as though the public purse was their personal feed-trough, and the air crackled with anger about PartyGate. All of which led to an inglorious start to 2022: the year the UK saw two monarchs, three prime ministers and four chancellors. 
     
    From Boris Johnson, who crashed our international reputation and handed billions to his mates so they could ineptly fight a pandemic while he stayed at home, shagging and acting as a super-spreader; to Liz Truss, a drive-by prime minister who managed to kill off the queen and crash the economy in a single week. And now we’re led by Rishi Sunak, who doesn’t know how to use a credit card, drives a pretend car, and grinningly promises even more poverty. 
     
    Four Chancellors and a Funeral delivers more of Russell Jones’s signature scathing wit, combining a detailed historical record of 2021 and 2022, with acerbic commentary, all of it leavened by jokes at the seemingly endless maelstrom of failures, nincompoops and hypocrisies.

    "Funny, poignant, each chapter a surprise, as this young man not only discovers the magic of Cornwall, but the magic inherently in him." - Deidre Gainor 
    A humorous, fish out of water story, this page-turner is a delight, a romp through Cornwall that will make you laugh out loud and leave you wanting more. If you like Bill Bryson you’ll enjoy this writing. It entertains while taking you on a journey. This novella is a love letter to Cornwall and its quirky characters. 
    Grant Decker is a disgruntled California art teacher turned 40, who has lost his way in life. A random stab on the map means he’s going to Penzance to spend his school holiday, hiking around the coast of Cornwall. Everything about Cornwall is strange to this American–the accents, the food, the changing weather. Determined to show Graeme, his trip planner, he’s not a lazy American, he avoids the bus and crashes through the scenery with comic effect. Walking on the coastal path he has visions of pirates, saints, mermaids, and chocolate cake, but it's through his encounters with the people of Cornwall that he learns how to be his authentic self. This is a journey of self-discovery.

    This isn't a self-help book. It's a mental junk drawer — full of quotes, chaos, forklift wisdom, and a guy just trying to make sense of the noise. 
    No chapters. No index. No roadmap. You'll find meaning, then lose it again. And maybe that's the point. 
    It's part philosophy, part humor, part existential napkin scribble. 
    If you've ever argued with God in a break room or felt like socks next to the couch might symbolize existential dread... you're in the right place.
