Michael Frayn Collected Columns cover

One of the funniest writers of his generation, Michael Frayn has been writing humorous newspaper columns since 1959, principally for the "Guardian" and "Observer", and originally came to prominence as the thrice weekly purveyor of these short, surreal, razor-sharp explorations of human foibles, sex, politics, manners, and the events of the day. This volume brings together 110 of his finest and funniest pieces from over the years, selected and introduced by Michael Frayn himself, and is an unmissable treat for the many fans of his unique comic voice, as well as a revelation for fans of the award-winning literary novels and plays of his later career.

"'Brilliantly funny' Daily Express 'The master of what is seriously funny' Anthony Burgess 'An unflinching, merciless, breathtaking understanding of the flawed, befuddled, absurd arena of modern life' Scotsman 'The master of comic form' James Fenton"
