The Humans
ABOUT
THE BOOK
There’s no place like home, or is there?
After an ‘incident’ one wet Friday night where Professor Andrew Martin is found walking naked through the streets of Cambridge, he is not feeling quite himself. Food sickens him. Clothes confound him. Even his loving wife and teenage son are repulsive to him. He feels lost amongst a crazy alien species and hates everyone on the planet. Everyone, that is, except Newton, and he’s a dog.
What could possibly make someone change their mind about the human race. . . ?
NOMINATING LIBRARY COMMENTS
Highly original and funny. A book that makes you laugh out loud and at the same time reflect deeply on what it means to be alive – and to be human. A wonderful and unique book.
