Enter the ordinary and charming world of John Osborne, where ambition is a bumbling tour guide, leading tourists through industrial estates, and the real magic happens at home flicking through Ceefax or cross-legged with your record player and a glass of wine.
From the author of What If Men Burst In Wearing Balaclavas? comes The New Blur Album. In his second pamphlet Osborne brings us more comedy, but there is also drama – time machines, adultery, surprise parties and sick children - all of it played out against a backdrop of chain restaurants, office admin and a quiet longing for your favourite band to make another record.
John Osborne is a member of poetry collective Aisle16. He has published two books of narrative non-fiction with Simon & Schuster, the first of which, Radio Head was Radio 4′s Book of the Week.
“John Osborne’s work is wildly imaginative, big-hearted and refreshingly life-affirming. Even at its darkest and most surreal there’s a joy in language, ideas and, ultimately, people that leaves you feeling like looking outwards again. Work that makes you happy in at least eight different ways.” Luke Kennard
