Scintillating, surprising, inventive fiction from one of the most talented writers in Britain this is a superb collection of short stories from the acclaimed author of the Chaos Walking series and More Than This. Have you heard the urban myth about Jesus's double-jointed elbows yet? 100% true. Or seen the latest reports on the 'groomgrabbing' trend the benevolent kidnapping of badly-dressed children by their well-meaning (and more dapper) elders? Heard the one about the Amazon from the Isle of Man? Or perhaps you'd like a job in telesales, offering self-defence classes over the phone? Don't worry, as long as you meet the weekly quota, you won't be sent to the end of the hall... 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.
It was somehow interesting but maybe because I'm not used to short stories I didn't enjoyed it that much. Some of the stories were good, and some others just weird. Maybe a didn't get them all. ⭐️⭐️
