  It's your worst nightmare: instead of being dead, you're alive! Seen from above, Dot is just another dot, barely distinguishable from a bug, a berry, or gum on the pavement. Up close, she has a magnificent but mysterious hubby, a collection of tea cosies swiped from old ladies, and the perfect face for her era: tight-lipped, pointy-nosed, pink-skinned, blonde-haired. She also has a Fatal Flaw. So Dot decides to End It All. But Dot BLOWS it! A hilarious and poignant journey through our puny universe, this is a masterpiece of disquiet - Lucy Ellmann at the height of her powers.

  Dot used to think she was perfect, with her pointy nose, pink skin and blonde hair. But now she lives on Abalone Avenue with a husband who chases women and swordfish. And she has a rather icky Fatal Flaw. And the universe doesn't give a damn! So DOT decides to End It All. Will death be fast? Slow? Embarrasing? But despite her valiant suicide by tea cosy followed by a jaunt to the morgue, Dot wakes up.
