Illustrated by Posy Simmonds, a brilliantly curated collection of sublime and delicious snippets of overheard mobile phone talk - the perfect gift for mobile phone users (and detractors) everywhere
Andrew Barrow is a writer and journalist who regularly contributes to the pages of the Independent, Daily Telegraph and The Spectator. He has written several works of non-fiction including Animal Magic- A Brother's Story and two novels. Andrew has been listening to other people's conversations since childhood. His various collections of overheard remarks have appeared in Vogue and Tatler, in a first collection called The Great Book of Small Talk, and in 2013's The Great Book of Mobile Talk. He lives in London.
Dozens of shouty (and occasionally whispered) one-sided
conversations, all of which have been turned from annoying to
hilarious thanks to a sublime collaboration between two very beady
talents.
*The Guardian*
Beautifully illustrated… it will strike a chord, even if it seems a
bit unfair to strip the ordinary things people say then put them in
a book, all the while scoffing at them for not being worthy of
putting in a book. Still, that's Christmas for you
*Telegraph*
A modern curse is turned into a treasure trove of strangers'
words
*Metro*
Great only in the sense of being darn good, this is a tiny,
beautifully produced volume
*Evening Standard*
