Meet the Wife
Clive Sinclair
Accept Clive Sinclair’s invitation, and you will embark upon an expedition led by none other than Odysseus, still desperately seeking Penelope. You will cross paths with the Lone Ranger, with Wyatt Earp, the most famous lawman of them all, and his voluptuous wife – whose portrait on the front cover (which just so happens to be the double of a missing spouse) may or may not be a true likeness. ‘It is a beautiful piece of writing, like an extended dream’ The Times ‘Meet the Wife is shockingly funny, and contains a new-found lyrical beauty. Its prose bristles with countless puns and word-plays’ Independent ‘Sinclair, who is a master of self-deprecation . . . has a wickedly dark humour, a gift for satire and an imagination powerful enough to leap the space-time continuum’ Scotland on Sunday
