My Extraordinary Life and Death
Author(s): MACLEOD Doug
What exactly is The Tight Trouser Club? Where do you buy children at bargain prices? How do you survive a father who buries you in the garden whenever you misbehave? And whom do you contact when your wife starts to shrink? None of these questions are answered in My Extraordinary Life and Death, though what do you expect if the author is dead? A rollercoaster of madness and surreal comedy awaits the reader brave enough to open the pages of this truly remarkable book. Based on a false story.
Product Information
Doug MacLeod is a Melbourne writer for adults and children who has worked with most of Australia's top comedians. He started as head writer on The Comedy Company, ended up producing Full Frontal, then ran away to write episodes of SeaChange and script edit Kath and Kim. In 2008, The Australian Writers Guild awarded him the Fred Parsons Award Recognising Special Contribution to Australian Comedy. His best-known children's book is probably Sister Madge's Book of Nuns, which started as a practical joke on a publisher. It is most unprofessional to write a book merely as a practical joke, so he has decided to do it once again with My Extraordinary Life and Death.
