ISBN: 9780007139446 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 288 Published: 1 May 2005 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 12.8 x 19.5 x 1.7 Description: Scintillating, surprising, inventive fiction from one of the most talented young writers in Britain -- this is a superb collection of new short stories from the acclaimed author of The Crash of Hennington.

Have you heard the urban myth about Jesus's double-jointed elbows yet? 100% true.

Wonderfully original, fresh and funny, Topics About Which I Know Nothing is stuffed to the gills with dizzyingly inventive writing and warming, puzzling emotions -- a fictional guide to how the world might have turned out.
