Description
The Digested Read
A hilarious collection of incisive and spot-on pastiches of the most popular writers, from Bridget Jones to Julian Barnes.
The Digested Read: Vol 2
The second volume of John Crace's Digested Read carries on where the first volume left off. Naomi Wolf, Paul Auster, Bret Easton Ellis, Michel Houellebecq, Tony Parsons, AA Gill, Stephen Hawking, Liz Jones...even the Bible - no one escapes Crace's brilliant pastiche, as every clunky plot device and pretentious stylistic tic of the latest over-hyped book is exposed in 500 hilarious words. Crace goes where the reviewers fear to tread to serve up his own rare mix of stylish intelligence and humour. As John Sutherland, chair of last year's Booker Prize, says: "Unlike with other forms of digestion, what comes out of John Crace's Digested Read is often a great deal better than what went in".
