Funny. And bollocks. Sort of what would happen if AB wrote a Robert Rankin novel and set it in the Caribbean. At a few years' remove may need disambiguation from Kurt Vonnegut's excellent "Cat's Cradle." This is the one with Z Fonanta (the 'talking animal' i.e. H. Sap.) and paintings that are puns (puntings? He certainly had a few of them). I think I read this while staying unavoidably with my late aunt and uncle on the Sussex coast. Had to escape that world somehow.
Bollocks. And funny.
