Unhinged: A Parody

English

By (author): Ian Martin

The perfect parody Christmas gift book for that selfish egomaniac in your life - written by Ian Martin, writer for The Thick of It and Veep

'Laughed so much I nearly forgot the last eight years!' Otto English
'Ian Martin has produced a traumatically funny book that takes its place in the noble and historic pantheon of British political satire.' The New European
'From the pen of the genius Ian Martin - I cannot tell you how f***king funny it is' John Niven
______


Boris Johnson has been a towering figure for decades in the worlds of politics, journalism and personal scandal. Somehow, he always bounces back. How does he do it? And how might we mere mortals elevate our piffling lives to the same levels of greatness?

Learn how to be more like Boris in this parody companion to Johnson's own account of the last few years. Inside you'll find easy-to-recreate social gambits, life rules and some great excuses that'll get you out of all sorts of tricky situations. Plus, learn how to:

- Trivialise everything with buffoonery
- Rebuild reality using various self-centred techniques
- Smash everything to pieces. Then try to fix it. And then smash it again. . .

LET US ALL BE MORE BORIS!
