RANDOM TALES FROM DODGE
by Rt Hon Quincey Riddle Esq.
What the critics have said:
"Bravo!" Ferguson: a dog lover from Coatbridge, Scotland. Currently on some witness protection deal.
"This is the finest example of misspent youth and wasted middle age that I have ever had the privilege to encounter. If this is literary fiction, I'm a critic." Democritus: a dead classical scholar.
"Never before in the field of human literature has so little been achieved by so many for the benefit of so few?" De Vouvray: an amphibian ex-hussar.
“Refined, languid, well-observed and insanely amoral.” Sidney Blink QC.
It is perhaps worthy of mention, for the benefit of those who peruse the bookshelves of our esteemed municipal libraries in search of a spot of bedtime reading, that the author of Random Tales from Dodge has now been sectioned under the Mental Health Act 1983. In view of the contents of this slim volume, the only surprise here is that the powers that be did not consider taking such an action many years ago. This, however, ought not to deter prospective readers from biting the bullet and entering the weird world of Dr de Ath’s youth. After all, the alternatives are clear: don’t read it and wish that you had once it is put on the list of banned literature, or, read it and run the risk of being certified. The result in the first instance will of course be to live a life of misery and regret, and in the second case, you’ll be none the wiser anyway as you peer out from behind the bars.

THE GREAT DESSERT RAID OF 1882
by Rt Hon Quincey Riddle Esq.
Available in all good communist bookshops now. In the great British tradition of genius unhinged by too much travelling in unheard-of places, Riddle's ravings make Stanley, Burton, Speke and Lawrence of Arabia sound like Enid Blyton toning it down a bit. Out of common humanity, we feel it only right and proper to add a health warning. If you value your own sanity, you will treat even a single episode with the utmost care. Like the sea, it is best dealt with by a quick dip followed by a stiff drink and a lie down. With something here to offend almost everyone, and accompanied by his own superlative photographs of Central Asia, Riddle's epic is a monument to all those who went far too far for far too long, and never quite came back.
