Paul Dot Go

"PAUL DOT GO is clever."
Grady Harp - Amazon
PAUL DOT GO is clever. Robin Anderson, who has many books published to his credit, makes a step
with the title that gives the savvy reader an idea about the book's inclination; Paul Gauguin is the
"ideal" of the painter character in the book. It is a wild ride!

"Another Great Read from Robin Anderson."
Amos Lassen
I do not know how Robin Anderson does it. He constantly writes entertaining books that have good stories and keeps me laughing. We are finally being introduced to his work as some of his books are now available in America.
Our hero this time is William (Wan. W) Wandsworth, a portrait painter who uses diversity in the backgrounds of his works. They can be set anywhere from a farmyard to a cemetery and from a modern urban center to an Italian castle circa 14th century. It is not his painting we are concerned with but his life which is one hijink after another. He is odds with Harry Humphries, an interior designer and pop idol, Tommy Tyler. What William wants is legendary status while he still lives and he surrounds himself with a very strange menagerie of friends. There are two dwarfs (can I say that?), Paul and Nelson, Skids, a major domo and his very dark friend, Rufus. Then there is Prince Albert, and Mic Sanford who finds himself embroiled in William's ambitions who lusts after Harry.
There is no guessing where the plot goes and guessing gets you nothing. I won't disclose any of that so you can enjoy it for yourself. There is yet another character who is the total William nemesis, a man by the name of Paul.Go.
As I said, there are lots of laughs and lots of fun and it is all presented to us in Anderson's glorious prose with a side serving of tongue-in-cheek. Believe me, this is one you do not want to miss. If you have never read Robin Anderson, this is a good place to start and if you are already a fan, it will cement that.

ROBIN ANDERSON has brought out another of his dark and witty bonk-busters. Do they have "Bonk-Buster Awards?" If not, why not, as the suave ROBIN would obviously win. In his latest the wicked characters al get their come-uppance, go-downance and whatever-ance and an extraordinary time is had by all.
