LONGLISTED FOR THE SAMUEL JOHNSON PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION A book like no other - the tale of a gripping quest to discover the identity of history's most notorious murderer and a literary high-wire act from the legendary writer and director of Withnail and I.

Addressing the issue of how men in demanding jobs can ensure they are good fathers to their children, this guide presents numerous ways to improve both the quality and amount of time that fathers spend with their children. Interviewed are more than 75 men from different backgrounds and professions, from pig farmers and plumbers to doctors and politicians. These men speak about the ways they balance demanding jobs with being food dads and offer suggestions for making work help, rather than hinder, fathering. All fathers, whether in separated or intact families, can benefit from the experiences of these successful, busy dads.

This is an excruciatingly funny book about an astonishingly dysfunctional family. It is about a boy and his grandpa, life and death, sex and hate, dog's meat and cancer. It is also about pornography, enemas, Morse codes, puberty, secrets, God and loathing. And it is about love. It is also funnier, more painful, more touching, more sexy and more profound than the funny, painfuul, touching, sexy, profound book you might have expected from the author of WITHNAIL AND I.
