A welcome re-issue of Nigel William's modern classic of comic writing.
14-year-old ufologist Simon Britton's father has just died and his mother, a member of the First Church of Christ the Spiritualist, is trying to get in touch with him. But some weird messages come through instead. By the author of My Life Closed Twice which won the Somerset Maugham Award.
Robert Wilson is an aimless, chronically untruthful young Englishman who has passed himself off as a Muslim, in order to secure a job at the newly established Wimbledon Independent Islamic Boys’ Day School. East of Wimbledon is the hilarious story of Mr Wilson’s decline and fall, as he demonstrates the failure of a post-colonial Briton to understand another great imperial culture that has absolutely no need of him.
