Demented

Demented

by Jacky Fleming (Author)

Synopsis

Have the inevitable signs of ageing taken you completely by surprise? Do 'Friends Reunited' emails from primary school acquaintances precipitate an instant mid-life crisis? Has your computer introduced levels of frustration into your life that you never dreamed were possible? Does the sound of orchestrated easy-listening music while you're on hold for half an hour drive you to despair? Then this demented cartoon narrative may help slightly, although how I can't imagine. This work is an absolute must for the middle-aged but immature woman and her bewildered partner - or anyone obsessed with looking on the internet at properties for sale in sunny countries.

Book Overview: A must have for anyone still wondering what they are going to be when they grow up - but too alarmed by the way things are going to do anything about it 'Her cartoons are ingenuous to the point of naivety; the jokes are boiled hard, then reduced to their purest distillation in the silliest, simplest form' Guardian 'Not bad for a girl' Spitting Image, Roger Law

Media Reviews
Demented is a comic exploration of the human condition in the age of sales figures, in which humanity still triumphs.
