''A joy. Celebrates the real world and revels in its mad glory'' Sue Townsend, Sunday Times_____________________________________All Points North is part-memoir and part-excursion. Charting the rugged and uneven terrain of a writer''s formative years - from tax problems to probation to American tours, football to family to running away to Iceland - Simon Armitage explores growing up and being Northern. It''s about humour, language, writing, film, houses, homes, time wasters, one loose tyre, you, me and all points in-between._____________________________________''Laugh-out-loud funny'' Independent''A delight'' Jonathan Raban, Times Literary Supplement ''A perfect holiday dipper'' Scotsman''An Alan Bennett-style diary'' Daily Telegraph Show more
