Pistache

Description

Some very interesting pieces from the pen of the bestselling author of Birdsong and Human Traces — a collection of clever, funny and surprising parodies, pastiches and air-shots, inspired by The Write Stuff on Britain’s Radio 4. Here’s a small sample of Pistache pieces: Thomas Hardy is sent to cover the big match. Jane Austen braves a contemporary “dance”. William Shakespeare writes a speech for Basil Fawlty. Oscar Wilde tries to be an agony uncle. Samuel Beckett writes a monologue for Ronnie Corbett. Pistache will be received with great delight by fans of Sebastian Faulks.
