Alastair Strange is addicted to TV. Tell him to get a life and he'd settle down in font of 'Coronation Street'. But Life is coming to get Alistair. In an attempt to escape his bizarre family and stagnation up North, Alistair moves to Fulham where he lands a job editing for a vanity publisher. True, it is an odd kind of job, but Alistair is used to oddness: his parents are strange, his elder brother is strange his name is strange. . . Hoping to find stability in a romance with his flat mate, the lovely but troubled Martha, he finds himself disappointed. Martha's behaviour is careering out of control and it looks like she might abscond to Nepal with his big brother Gus. Can he rescue Martha? Can he get to the bottom of why his father speaks four languages and Gus is really Jeremy? And does life resemble TV? STRANGER THAN FULHAM is wildly funny, tender-hearted debut from a great new comic talent with an irresistibly jaundiced eye for the absurdities of young urban life.
