( “Take that, effusive cover copy writer!” This goes double, no, TRIPLE, for video cover blurbs. I dislike being told I’m going to laugh, and in inner protest I then tend not to. The cover blurb might be the reason – a quote from Susan Hill (which vaguely rings a bell – dark short stories? – or ?) promises “…no difficulty in laughing out loud….a new, original comic writer…tremendous fun”. Not quite sure why it’s taken me this long to get around to reading it.
I was attracted by the intriguing cover, and when I opened the book to the middle for my standard never-heard-of-this-author-before-should-I-gamble-on-this book-30-second-random-excerpt-test it passed quite nicely. I grabbed this book on a whim during a Sally Ann sweep over a year ago. The Complete Knowledge of Sally Fry by Sylvia Murphy ~ 1983.
