'This is one of the most original and surprising books that I have read for years: a reflection on city life by an unusual mind that proves just how extraordinary the ordinary can be.' Christopher Matthew, Daily Mail, (Critics Choice) 'Ross has produced a truly brilliant book.' Gary Younge, Guardian 'Very funny . . . a parable of our times.' Iain Sinclair, Daily Telegraph ' . . this unique, utterly original little philosophical tome. This is pop philosophy in its best sense: a kind of subterranean Sophie's World, but more adult, darker-edged, its modest wisdom harder won.' Literary Review
