Synopsis Author

THE POST-BREXIT EDITION - brand new chapters with extra EU chaos for Englishman Paul West.

An Englishman, Paul West, goes to Brussels to work for a French MEP. There he gets an insider's view of what really goes on in the massive madhouse that is the EU Parliament. With the referendum on the horizon, things are even more hysterical than usual.

When the Brexit result comes in, Paul has to make a decision. If he wants to work in Europe, should he apply for a French passport?

But can an Englishman really become French?
Can he sing the bloodthirsty 'Marseillaise'?
Can he even pronounce the word 'Marseillaise'?

And as Paul contemplates his own personal Brexit, the whole of Brussels seems to be going into meltdown …

Stephen Clarke

Before becoming an author, Clarke wrote radio comedy sketches and stories for US cartoonist Gilbert Shelton. With A Year in the Merde, Clarke is arguably one of the earliest self-publishing success stories--it was discovered by French newspapers and garnered enough interest that he could sell the novel to international publishers. It has since been published in over 20 languages. He has now written several Merde books, all starring Paul West, an Englishman surviving in France.

Clarke has also written non-fiction, including 1000 Years of Annoying the French, a bestselling look at the history between Great Britain and France, and Paris Revealed, a book detailing the hidden secrets of Paris that Clarke has learned from ten-plus years living there.
