Publisher's Synopsis
Vivian Anthony Fish, who drinks like one too, lives in a quaint little village that doesn't actually exist, called Up The Buttwater Way. It is located in a part of Great Britain called Middlesex, which does exist. His head is often filled with a mad imagination, an existence loaded with pure fiction. He still lives at home with his parents, attempting occasionally to help his father in his butcher shop. He has a friend called Doreen who is just as debauched and hedonistic as himself. Many of the characters in the village appear dysfunctional, a little odd, bizarre, and larger than life. There's a surrealist prankster, two retired time travelers, a quirky philosopher and a frisky librarian, to name but a few. It is a world seeped in ludicrous vignettes, flights of fancy, and lashings of absurdity. (New revised version.)
