A Spot of Bother is Mark Haddon’s unforgettable follow-up to the internationally beloved bestseller The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. Here the madness (literally) of family life proves rich comic fodder for Haddon’s crackling prose and bittersweet insights into misdirected love.
Unnoticed in the uproar caused by his daughter’s controversial nuptials, sixty-one-year-old George Hall discovers a sinister lesion on his hip, and quietly begins to lose his mind. The way these damaged people fall apart – and come together – as a family is the true subject of Haddon’s disturbing yet amusing portrait of a dignified man trying to go insane politely.
“ Haddlon has a deft comic touch.”
--------- The New Yorker
“ A Spot of Bother snaps, crackles and pops with humor and pathos….Sparklingly written… Haddon deftly pulls this off with what we can now hail as his trademark tenderness.”
---------- Los Angeles Times
“ A Spot of Bother is a pleasant comic caper… The writing is extremely skilled and clever.”
----------- San Francisco Chronicle
