Picked up in a second hand book shop, the Book Cellar in St George, Bermuda...lovely place but so hot!!
(04/09/11) This is a fine collection of short stories, seemingly put together from Hornby's friends and assorted glitterati...and Colin Firth! No stand-out stories, although Hornby's own 'Nipplejesus' was good and John O'Farrels story about a mime artist was very funny.
I've seen this compared to Bennett's Talking Heads, the Angel being a metaphor (I think!) for each 1st person narrative (and a 1st-dog!); often witty, sometimes rude, always thoughtful and evocative
