Maybe he's ready to settle intothe end of his career, like it's a tipsy afternoon after a working lunch. Butthen he is confronted with a gift: a piece of technology, a gizmo, areader...

Dear Reader takes a wry,affectionate look at the world of publishing, books and authors, and is a veryfunny, moving story about the passing of the old and the excitement of the new.

MEDIA REVIEWS
Delightfully satirical... [the] ultimate celebration of printed books All about the intense and carnal pleasures of reading Poetic, satirical and delicate: here is a novel in urgent need of reading A delight Brief, witty, intellectual and wonderfully quotable... the most truthful account of literary ennui I have ever read... a quietly remarkable little book Dear Reader is a joyously satirical, affectionate novel - unashamedly a book about books A wry but affectionate look at today's publishing world [A] pleasingly bookish novella... can be hugely enjoyed without being studiously deciphered A wonderful book full of wry humour and surprising twists Dear Reader is a good example of why the Oulipian method isn't merely a game, but rather a surprisingly fertile approach to writing

“A delight”

I read this little book in pretty much one sitting and loved every moment. It focuses on an old school publisher getting to grips with new reading technology and is simply a delight. It is gentle and witty and a... More
