A Man Made Entirely of Bats

Patrick Lenton

4.9/5 (18632 ratings)

Description:‘A Man Made Entirely of Bats’ is a collection of short stories and flash fiction by one of Australia’s newest voices. Comedic and absurd, these stories are an entertaining exploration of the concept of super heroes and of the super strange in our world. This is well written silliness with stories such as ‘Radiocative Jerk’ the tale of a man bitten by a jerk, therefore gaining the exponential strength of ten jerks, and ‘The Insomni-Yak’ about a man who can’t sleep and is visited by a well-meaning yak every night."The best thing about Patrick Lenton is that he’s not writing for you. There’s an unselfconscious enjoyment in his characters and scenarios, their bizarreness laced with blackly comic puns and phrasing. Where so much laboured humour is built for a market, Lenton entertains by happy accident." GEOFF LEMON, Going Down Swinging‘I love Patrick’s stories because he seems to think a bit differently to everybody else. He strolls down the shoreline picking up seashells and gold coins and gemstones as well as bottle caps, discarded pantyhose, broken dreams and crisp packets and he makes them all play together in his wild sandcastle. Patrick is a bit like a child who knows way too much and also has a degree in poetics. Do not read this on the bus if you have a primal fear of laughing loudly in front of strangers.’ ZOE NORTON LODGE (Story Club, ABC TV's The Checkout & The Media Circus)‘Featuring a colourful assortment of superheroes, mutants, zombies, bank robbers and boy bands – these stories are wonderfully bizarre, original and hilarious. A new and original voice, Patrick Lenton's short stories bring qualities rare in Australian fiction; inventiveness, humour, and a fine sense of the absurd.’ RYAN O’NEILL‘Despite – or, perhaps, because of – a recurring preoccupation with the television show Friends, A Man Made Entirely of Bats is a consistent laugh-riot.’SIAN CAMPBELL, Scum MagWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
