Product Information
The Perfect Fool charts the progress of a collection of misfits, spread across the wide open spaces of Arizona and the narrow streets of South London, all unwittingly caught up in a quest for the Holy Grail. Mr Lewis believes he was once an astronaut; Sid and Danny's Dire Straits covers band isn't exactly filling the pubs of Streatham; Tracy travels between Las Vegas and the Mexican border, fleeing the suspicion that she's a serial killer; Bob, a Native American clown, no longer finds anything funny; Luther, an acid casualty 1960s rock star, has long since forgotten the most basic chord shapes; and Peter Rugg lost a cigarette down the back of a Portobello Road sofa thirty years ago and is still looking for it. These seemingly unrelated individuals eventually collide in the deserts of the American South-west, where they form an uneasy alliance. Stewart Lee's first novel combines an eclectic range of characters and cultures with an instinctive comic touch.Product Identifiers

Odd but humane and warmly compelling.
Lee's is a Waitsian world of middle aged losers, musicians and the chronically mentally ill. They drunk, they drug, people die, people have delusions and emptiness. The first half is stronger and more lyrical than the second. I read this after a Zadie Smith novel which I found vague, overambitious and uninvolving. To my surprise, I liked this better. Lee is a national treasure as far as I can see. Go Schew.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
