Mister Roberts
Alexei Sayle
Formats & Editions
Above a small village in Spain, an English costume designer sees a bright shining star lurch abruptly across the sky.On Christmas Day a strong, silent man with blank eyes enters Bar Noche Azul.
Only a thirteen year old boy could have guessed that there was any connection between the two.
Wonderfully inventive, darkly funny and thoughtful, MISTER ROBERTS is both an original coming-of-age story and an unusual take on the corrupting influence of power.

Among the very few comedians to write fiction which can be taken seriously as literature . . . It's also extremely funny. - Independent on SundayHilariously bonkers - Red Brains, wit and welcome absurdity...there is also a surprising amount of warmth - Guardian'Ridiculously entertaining' - The Times'Full of inventive comedy' - Herald'A deliciously barmy, yet affecting cautionary tale...the considered, pitch-perfect prose of a talented novelist who also happens to have a wildly perverse imagination, and a store of beautifully delivered one-liners.' - Scotsman
