JOHN O'FARRELL

The Best a Man Can Get

Doubleday 2000 Paperback, 271pp. "Some men are born fathers, while others have fatherhood thrust upon them. The protagonist of John O'Farrell's The Best a Man Can Get belongs indisputably in the latter category. When his first daughter is born, Michael Adams imagines her as the warden of a prison that will permanently deprive him of his youth and freedom. Terrified by his new responsibilities, he regularly escapes to a bachelor pad across the Thames, pretending to be at work. Another child arrives--and with still another on the way, it is only a matter of time until Michael's wife discovers his double life. At that point, he must make a choice between his family and his hedonistic haven. By turns hilarious and touching, O'Farrell's book delves deeply into the anxieties of modern parenting. Yet the novel is not without empathy for the 21st-century father. After all, it's easy to imagine the lure of a child-proof hideaway, insulated from sleepless nights and dirty diapers. At the same time, Adams often wonders whether 'just being tucked up warm and cosy' is really 'the best a man can get'. With its charming prose and its truant protagonist, this first novel is sure to win over even the most reluctant parent. --Greg Bensinger ", (ISBN: 0385600844). Very Good.

The Best A Man Can Get

Black Swan 2001 Paperback, 304pp. "Michael Adams shares a flat in North London with three other men in their late twenties or early thirties. Days are wasted lying in bed till lunchtime, playing Nintendo or if he's really bored even doing a bit of work. He does what he wants when he wants. And the when he feels like it he goes back to his unsuspecting wife and children.Michael has his life organised. He is not sexually unfaithful to Catherine, but since their children were born he has been having a different sort of affair; not so much seeing another woman as seeing another version of himself. It is an existence of which other men with small children could only dream; a world without bits of plastic in primary colours, a world where it doesn't matter which towel he uses and where he doesn't have to get up at a quarter to six to wave a rattle at a dribbling tyrant of a baby. His wife and everyone else thinks it takes him days to write all those advertizing jingles at his studio. She thinks he works through the night, and maybe grabs a couple of hours on a sofa bed in his studio. But he can usually knock them off in a morning - for which he is paid respectable amounts of money all of which he spends keeping two lives going at once. Some men stay at work longer than they need to rather than go home and face the misery that is small children. Some men develop hobbies that take them to the cellar or the shed at the bottom of the garden. But Michael's escape is total, perfect and uncompromising. He has another home, other friends, a whole parallel lifestyle to which he can run whenever he feels like it. Of course he loves his little children and his wife - but what he loves most is that he has not had to make all the sacrifices that all his other married friends have had to make. It is only when his deception is exposed that he risks losing everything . ", (ISBN: 9780552998444). Good.

Global Village Idiot

Corgi Books 2002 Paperback, 352pp. "'This week the first pet passports came into effect. Around the country dogs have been hopping into photo booths and trying to look as relaxed as possible, which is not easy when you know you're not allowed on the chair'. Gathered here are the best of John O'Farrell's newspaper columns for 'The Guardian' and 'The Independent', which saw him win the coveted Best Columnist of the Year Award at the prestigious British Liars Awards. Among many other things, he claims that the only conviction in the Tory Party was when Jeffrey Archer got sent to prison; that scientists have created a genetically superior monkey which will advertise lapsang souchong instead of PG Tips; and that with the election of George W. Bush, the global village has finally got its own global village idiot. ", (ISBN: 9780552999649). Near Mint.
