Sour Grapes Av Dan Rhodes

Dan Rhodes is a true original' - Hilary Mantel'I read this novel right through the day I got my hands on it, laughing like a banshee.' - David Sexton, Sunday TimesWhen 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 lanesBut 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 terriblewho wreaks havoc wherever he goesSour Grapes is a hilarious satire on the literary world which takes no prisoners as it skewers authors, agents, publishers and reviewers alike.
