The Additional Michael Frayn
Michael Frayn
More comic essays from Michael Frayn to follow The Original Michael Frayn
This volume collects more comic prose pieces from the writer of the play Copenhagen and the Booker-shortlisted comic novel Headlong. Many of these essays first appeared in the Guardian and the Observer over three decades from the 1970s to the 1990s and consider the foibles of modern life and the art of communicating with inanimate and semi-animate objects. Along with the pieces in The Original Michael Frayn, the ones in The Additional Michael Frayn show that Frayn is, by far, the best comic prose stylist in Britain.
