Dziewczyna nie zdradza mu swojego imienia i znika nagle bez pożegnania, a Garyemu pozostaje jedynie książką, którą czytała: Kompleks Satsumy. Kiedy w tajemniczych okolicznościach znika również Brendan, Gary postanawia odnaleźć dziewczynę nazywa ją Satsuma, aby uzyskać odpowiedzi na dręczące go pytania. Tak rozpoczyna się podróż Garyego przez dzielnice i piekarnie południowego Londynu. Podróż, która w końcu wnosi odrobinę miłości i ekscytacji w jego nijakie życie

The number one bestseller and Sunday Times Humour Book of the Year by national treasure Bob Mortimer. 'The most life-affirming, joyful read of the year' - Sunday Times 'Winningly heartfelt' - The Guardian 'A triumph' - Daily Mail Bob Mortimer's life was trundling along happily until suddenly in 2015 he was diagnosed with a heart condition that required immediate surgery and forced him to cancel an upcoming tour. The episode unnerved him, but forced him to reflect on his life so far. This is the framework for his hilarious and moving memoir, And Away... Although his childhood in Middlesbrough was normal on the surface, it was tinged by the loss of his dad, and his own various misadventures (now infamous from his appearances on Would I Lie to You?), from burning down the family home to starting a short-lived punk band called Dog Dirt. As an adult, he trained as a solicitor and moved to London. Though he was doing pretty well (the South London Press once crowned him 'The Cockroach King' after a successful verdict), a chance encounter in a pub in the 1980s with a young comedian going by the name Vic Reeves set his life on a different track. And now, six years on, the heart condition that once threatened his career has instead led to new success on BBC2's Gone Fishing. Warm, profound, and irrepressibly funny, And Away... is Bob's full life story (with a few lies thrown in for good measure.)

THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'As a comedian, Bob Mortimer spins a shaggy-dog story like nobody else, and this is a rollicking old-school yarn' The Guardian ‘Mortimer’s verbal specificity and off-kilter humour will keep his fans chuckling’ The Times WARNING - this book includes: heavy crimes, car journeys, dreadfulness, large fruits, romance, planning applications, and a lot of pie. Gary Thorn is struggling with a big decision. Should he stay in London, wallowing in the safety of his legal job in Peckham and eating pies with his next door neighbour, Grace and her dog Lassoo, or should he move to Brighton, where his girlfriend Emily is about to open The Hotel Avocado? Either way, he’d be letting someone down. But sinister forces are gathering in a cloud of launderette scented-vape smoke, and the arrival of the mysterious Mr Sequence puts Gary in an even worse predicament: soon he might be dead. All Gary wants is a happy life. But he also wants to be alive to enjoy it… THE HILARIOUS AND GRIPPING NEW NOVEL BY NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR BOB MORTIMER ‘Sweet and funny’ Closer ‘A stunning sequel… It’s genuinely difficult to put this book down – you’ll be entranced by Mortimer’s humour and obvious story-telling skills’ Press Association ‘Characters are layered with carefully observed detail and a huge serving of hilarity’ Heat

Two comedy greats talk life, friendship and the joys of fishing

Like Spike Milligan, the only vintage comic whose fiction is still read, Mortimer has managed to use a novel as a vehicle for his distinctive comedic voice' The Telegraph

Herrlich britischer Humor und ein liebenswürdig verpeilter Held. Der Super-Bestseller aus UK. »Mein Name ist Gary. Ich bin dreißig Jahre alt und arbeite in einer Kanzlei in London. Wenn Sie mich träfen, würden Sie mich wahrscheinlich als unscheinbar bezeichnen. Ich hatte einen tollen Draht zu einer Frau entwickelt, doch das flog mir voll um die Ohren und verpasste mir einen Tritt in den Hintern.« Gary Thorn lernt im Pub eine Frau kennen. Er ist schockverliebt, nur ihren Namen bekommt er nicht mit. Als sie geht, weiß Gary nichts von ihr außer dem Titel des Buches, das sie las: »Der Satsuma-Komplex«. Jetzt muss Gary die Frau, die er nun Satsuma nennt, unbedingt aufstöbern. So beginnt Garys große Suche. Nie hätte er sich träumen lassen, dass es in seinem Leben so viel Chaos, Liebe und Eichhörnchen geben würde. Und dass ausgerechnet er das Zeug zum Helden hat. »Witzig, überraschend und sympathisch.« Sunday Times
