This is an automatically translated description

The protagonist will have to go through many trials to break into the world of literature. A number of obstacles stand in the way, including the sky-high prices of Australian housing. He has to share a flat with rather eccentric neighbours, the number of whom sometimes reaches catastrophic proportions. In the end, the stories that the hero constantly gets into because of his neighbours simply don't leave time for writing.

Birmingham's novel will appeal to all lovers of black humour and will definitely interest anyone who is not yet familiar with contemporary Australian literature.
