In between penning his hugely acclaimed and bestselling travelogues, A
LAND OF TWO HALVES and MUSTN'T GRUMBLE, Joe Bennett is also one of the
foremost newspaper columnists in his adoptive home, New Zealand. In
punchy, pithy, perfectly formed 800-word packages, Joe skewers all
manner of modern foibles, many of them his own. Whether applying his
forensic common sense to the more idiotic twenty-first-century concerns
or concocting a hilarious love-letter to his fridge, his pieces are
acute, frequently very funny and always right on the money. Bringing
together the best of his journalism from the last five years, this new
collection shows there's much more to Joe Bennett than travel writing
and establishes him as the thinking man's Jeremy Clarkson.
