Sour Grapes cover

When the sleepy English village of Green Bottom hosts its first literary festival, the good, the bad and the ugly of the book world descend upon its leafy lanes. But the villagers are not prepared for the peculiar habits, petty rivalries and unspeakable desires of the authors. And they are certainly not equipped to deal with Wilberforce Selfram, the ghoul-faced, ageing enfant terrible who wreaks havoc wherever he goes. Sour Grapes is a hilarious satire on the literary world which takes no prisoners as it skewers authors, agents, publishers and reviewers alike.

'A true original' - Hilary Mantel;'Few writers can match Rhodes gag for gag' - Daily Telegraph;'Dan Rhodes is totally sick and brilliant in all the right ways' - Douglas Coupland;'Going too far is Dan Rhodes' forte' - The Observer; 'Laugh out loud hilarious' - Stewart Lee
