Very early on we learn that boring, frightened Murray has only a few months to live. Have you thought about it? I have, and in many ways Iâd do what this character does … live a bit, only I hope I donât attract his problems! This is wacky stuff, written with rip-roaring pace, full of hilarious and unlikely scenarios and weird but lovable characters, a true comic novel of style. Catch his email novel, e, too and an equally crazy media one, The Book, The Film, The T-Shirt.

Murrayâs living life to the full – and it might just kill him. Heâs started telling the truth at work. Heâs borrowed a stack of cash from a man with a gun, a speech impediment and no grasp whatsoever of APR. Heâs also taking drugs and – God help him – heâs started dancing. Badly. To trance. And now heâs on the run with a human version of Muttley and a teenage girl called Fish.
