Sleeping Dogs and Other Lies

This, Joe Bennett's second collection of columns, deals with the horrors of golf and hospital, the pleasures of oxymorons and cricket, the sickness of dogs and apostrophes, and the blights of suburbia from Star Wars to karaoke, interviews to airports. 'It's brilliant. I can't tell you how much I am enjoying it.' - Bill Bryson. 'Bennett's writing is a splendid example of how simple English can be employed to devastating effect. He makes our other columnists seem earnest, stolid and verbose.' - Graeme Lay, North and South. Also by Joe Bennett: Just Walking the Dogs.
