“Here’s a debut pamphlet full of invention; one that takes the reader from Midlands suburbia to an America charmed by the oddity of Englishness, accompanied along the way by a cold grandmother and a loving surrogate; an overloaded Chrysler and two Cabbage Whites. Adrian Salmon’s is a fresh, assured voice which shares small moments, like the cats that flow from garden to garden, and the visual surprises of a world seen without glasses. It happily celebrates the basic income of being human.”
