Write-Off!

Christian Frank

Embark on a side-splitting journey through the delightfully absurd world of "Write Off!" - the inaugural instalment in a ten-novel suburban saga that seamlessly blends sitcom with surrealism. Imagine the comedic brilliance of 'Bottom' meeting the quaint charm of 'Last of The Summer Wine, ' resulting in a riotous and heart-warming sitcom. Meet Tony Fawcett, a self-absorbed warehouse worker with failing health, aspiring to become a writer. He forges an unconventional household with his dim-witted half-brother Gerald, the death-obsessed Louis Rodgers (a criminal residing in a backyard caravan), and the secretly entangled Jean Temple, who adores Tony while harbouring steamy secrets. Enter Floyd Grant, an obese astrologer from The Cunningham Echo, celebrated for brutally honest observations. The dynamics of this dysfunctional group create a concoction of characters colliding like fireworks.

In this first instalment, unravel the mystery of where Tony's new girlfriend truly spends her Friday nights, navigate Louis's reluctance for a reunion with a murder suspect, and witness Tony's misadventure with a poetry reading that Louis mistakes for a night of pot smoking. A minor hiccup. Will Tony's literary aspirations survive the chaos of this unconventional household? Join the hilarity as secrets unfold, relationships entangle, and absurdity reigns supreme.

If you're a connoisseur of side-splitting sitcoms and absurd comedy series, "Write-Off!" promises a rollercoaster ride you won't want to miss! For those yearning for a novel that seamlessly combines wit, heart, and outright quirkiness, "Write-Off!" is your next essential read!

Why "Write-Off!" is a Must-Read Enigma:

BBC Approved: Praised by Will Banks, Programmes Editor at BBC Radio Cleveland, as something "funny, slightly touching, and something I'd love to see developed in some way. Think comedy on Radio 4."

Fearlessly pushing boundaries of conventional comedy: As emphasized by Victoria Lloyd from BBC Light Entertainment Radio, "Radio 4 has quite a conformist attitude to what can and can't be said. If you took out everything they'd frown upon, you wouldn't have very much left."
