Synopsis (credit: back cover)

Andrew Ing has always had a geat respect for books and reading. After studying law, he became a barman, plum orchard manager, backpacker, tractor driver, factory worker in Bristol, hot dog vendor in Denver, property dealer, fruit and fish exporter, flyfisherman and other related enterprises. He abandoned this lifestyle and moved to Kommetjie, Western Cape, South Africa, and at 36 is now trying to reconcile his lifelong aspirations of becoming a full-time writer with the miserable income that it initially entails.

(Bought second-hand at the CAFDA Charity Bookshop, Warwick Street, Claremont.)

An interesting collection of short stories. I enjoyed most of them.

I know nothing further about the author. A quick search indicates that he might have been the author of Paris to Pamplona on a Barstool as well. Whether his dream of becoming a full-time writer ever came true, I don't know. He does seem to be the kind of guy who will enjoy life anyway.

My wife and I will be cycling through the Netherlands and Germany over the next few weeks. If all goes according to plan, I'll release this book somewhere during our stay in Amsterdam afterwards. The book will thus have completed an extended tour of some of the best cycling routes this planet has to offer.

Edited later to add: left in Vondelpark. Lots of people everywhere, all enjoying the beautiful summer evening.
