About this product

Product Information

"Magnus Mills, the bus driver who also writes novels, is a true original in a world of clones. His sparsely written books somehow manage to make the everyday deeply bizarre, occasionally menacing and often funny . . . It's real life, but not quite realism, and strangely brilliant." -- The Times

Reviews
Once you've read this excellent, funny, intelligent book, it will make you look in a more kindly way on that harried driver as he zooms away into the night., Mills' deadpan humor about the surreal workings of the transport authority has a distinct ring of truth. This novel should be required reading for those in charge of our chaotic public transport system., A subtle meditation on what it means to try to impose order in a fundamentally chaotic world . . . I suspect Mills has much more to say about power, officialdom, and even buses than he has done here. However, his reticence has always given readers space to think, and his deadpan celebration of chaos is even heart-warming., "It's finally happened: Britain's most famous bus-driving novelist has given us a novel about buses. All your questions will be answered: why do you wait for ages only for three to come at once? Who are those men who hang around bus stops muttering into handsets? And why do buses suddenly terminate halfway into your journey? . . . There is a perfect match between Mills' subject and his peculiar obsessions . . . Brilliant." -Independent "Once you've read this excellent, funny, intelligent book, it will make you look in a more kindly way on that harried driver as he zooms away into the night." -Daily Telegraph "Mills' deadpan humor about the surreal workings of the transport authority has a distinct ring of truth.
