When the sleepy English village of Green Bottom hosts its first literary festival, the good, the bad and the ugly of the book world descend upon its leafy lanes.

But the villagers are not prepared for the peculiar habits, petty rivalries and unspeakable desires of the authors. And they are certainly not equipped to deal with Wilberforce Selfram, the ghoul-faced, ageing enfant terrible who wreaks havoc wherever he goes.

Sour Grapes is a hilarious satire on the literary world which takes no prisoners as it skewers authors, agents, publishers and reviewers alike.

“Satire at it’s best!”

Thanks to the publishers for a copy of Sour Grapes. This is a book where you definitely need to look beyond the rather stark cover. And there you will find a wonderful, biting satire focused squarely on the literary... More

“Sour Grapes by Dan Rhodes”

A brutally cutting slash at the publishing industry, written with the author's trademark humour and eye for the absurd.
No punches are pulled, no cows too sacred.
I had a wonderful time.
