Film (UK version)

4th Estate February 2003. Fiction.

Because the Australian version of Film was so deeply flawed, I substantially rewrote and re-edited it for the U.K release. The result is marginally better than its antipodean cousin, although not nearly as bad as a spectacularly savage review by Leo Benedictus in The Guardian newspaper would have you believe.

“One of the funniest books I’ve read in years ... a wonderful book.” Saturday Telegraph

“Is this a deliberately bad novel? If so, I can only applaud the bravery in risking [a] fiction debut on such a dull book.” The Guardian
