Are all aspiring stand-up comics as tragic as Baby Reindeer? If William is anything to go by, the answer is possibly 'yes'. Nostalgic, razor-sharp and deliciously peculiar, this is a weird but wonderful comedy of manners by the award-winning author of The Tap Dancer.William is a lonely young man on the loose in the late 1960s. A disastrous appearance as a stand-up comic in a pub called The Man In the Moon is only the start of his adventures, in which he consorts with theatrical types, frenzied advertising men and accident-prone lodgers.William s exploits lead him eventually to the consulting rooms of a Harley Street psychiatrist, where his delusions that he is a comic genius can finally be laid bare.Andrew Barrow s second and so far last novel, first published in 1996, is a hilariously bittersweet comedy that follows in the footsteps of last year s sensational reissue of The Tap Dancer, which drew praise from Alan Bennett ( my favourite novel ), Craig Brown ( sublime comedy ) and India Knight ( hilariously funny ).
