The Places We've Been (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781915785398)

"Our heroic notions fizzle like the soap suds of cheap washing-up liquid as we sit in the traffic jam of piled-up human aspirations."

Or do they?

Inspired by the mighty Camilo Jos? Cela, this writer sets off on a journey backwards and sideways across Spain, the place he has called home for 25 years, visiting some places he has been and in the meantime lifting the lid on the country normally unseen.

the places we've been can fit snugly into your favourite jacket pocket but punches way above its paperweight in shrewd observation, poetic turn and delicious comic timing that delivers proper laugh out loud moments.
