Produktbeschreibung

"Through the use of deadpan humour, lightning wit and a commitment to poking fun at pomposity, Bryony Littlefair's poems show us what the world is really like. Her similes are compellingly outrageous and her metaphors are gloriously bizarre - these poems let us see life and our lives as the ridiculous strange beautiful creatures they are." - Kim Moore

"Fresh, natural and surprising twists and turns, sudden illuminations that feel like truth telling" - Pascal Petit

Escape Room is the startling and long-awaited debut collection from Bryony Littlefair, following the success of her award-winning pamphlet Giraffe. Littlefair combines clear-eyed observation with wry, surreal humour. Where the mundanities of everyday life, work, therapy, graduation and lapsed Christianity are transformed into the comedic and absurd, with warmth, humanity and a deadpan delivery.
