Items related to The Making of Mr Bolsover
NAME: Lynch, Andrew (b. 16.10.1958); a.k.a. "Mr Bolsover." CAREER: civil servant, librarian, columnist, local councillor, revolutionary. RECREATIONS: shooting squirrels, skinning rabbits, cooking with rats. ADDRESS: present whereabouts unknown; last sighted in South Downs woodland close to the A275. PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS: cataloging systems, hermits, badger welfare, troglodytes, revolutionary politics. But a Who’s Who entry can reveal only so much. Like all the great political lives—Churchill, Disraeli, Gladstone, Genghis Khan—Bolsover’s is one of incident, drama, and passion. From the calm of Uckfield library to the demands of high office, a life on the run, and a final confrontation with the authorities, The Making of Mr Bolsover is a moving, epic tale of a modern misfit and a political biography like no other.

About the Author:
Cornelius Medvei studied modern languages at Oxford University and worked for a time in China as a teacher. He is the author of the acclaimed novels Mr Thundermug and Caroline.
Review:
"A minor masterpiece of the deadpan... a very, very funny book... genuinely original and written with understated intelligence" Sunday Telegraph "Very funny and charming" -- Kate Saunders The Times "A brilliant parody... Blending the sublime with the suburban produces some of the best humour, and Medvei has it down to a fine art" -- Stephen Coulson Lady "An exploration of how myths are engendered as much as it is a whimsical satire of political ambition... Very much in love with the Sussex countryside that it so beautifully evokes... Assured, precise prose" -- Philip Womack Literary Review "a master-piece of writing" -- Mags Fisk Nudge Book
