Items related to Going Naked Is The Best Disgui
The narrator of Going Naked is the Best Disguise lives in Birmingham. He is an ordinary boy. He has a father, grandparents, uncles and aunts. He also has a mother. A mother who keeps cans of Coke in the outside toilet and sets all the clocks fifteen minutes fast. A mother who puts her cleaning things in the grill and saves mustard jars to use as glasses. A German mother, who left her tattered homeland after the war. A mad, stern, dazzling mother who always cleans in the nude.
Sharp, poignant and wryly witty, Going Naked is the Best Disguise is an extraordinarily promising debut and a novel for anyone ever embarrassed or bewildered by their parents.
'A poignant and unsettling book, which picks its way through a family's memories in search of answers to the unanswerable' The Times
'An entrancingly sane and funny read' Vogue
'A remarkable debut from Steven Jacobi...
Let's just hope there is a sequel' Yorkshire Post.
