More About the Author

Lynne Truss is a writer and journalist who started out as a literary editor with a blue pencil and then got sidetracked. The author of three novels and numerous radio comedy dramas, she spent six years as the television critic of The Times of London, followed by four (rather peculiar) years as a sports columnist for the same newspaper. She won Columnist of the Year for her work for Women's Journal. Lynne Truss also hosted Cutting a Dash, a popular BBC Radio 4 series about punctuation. She now reviews books for the Sunday Times of London and is a familiar voice on BBC Radio 4. She lives in Brighton, England.

Not Miss Havisham - See all my reviews

This review is from: Talk to the Hand: The Utter Bloody Rudeness of Everyday Life (or Six Good Reasons to Stay Home and Bolt the Door) (Hardcover)

But I have no idea how well this would work for a non-British audience, perhaps there is a non-UK version of this book? I know Truss has received international acclaim for her cantankerous-old-lady-act.

Again, like Eats, Shoots & Leaves, very funny, but sadly too too true...
