When his endlessly capricious wife Eva receives plane tickets for the family to visit Auntie Joan and Uncle Wally in Atlanta, Wilt knows only one thing - that nothing could entice him to fly three thousand miles over the water, and especially not two rotund Americans with more money than sense. What better way to escape and find equilibrium then to embark on a walking tour? Just Wilt, the countryside, and an ill-judged bottle of whiskey... Meanwhile, Eva finds her plans to inherit Joan and Wally's fortune slipping away faster than her sanity, thanks to a combination of sinister teenage quadruplets with foul mouths, and her unexpected role as lead suspect in a drug-trafficking plot. Outrageous, darkly comic, and packed with calamity on top of calamity, Tom Sharpe's latest episode of Wilt's misadventures is a razor-sharp farce that will delight fans both old and new.

Tom Sharpe is always hilarious
Of all the books Sharpe has written his character Henry Wilt is the most enduring. No matter where he goes or what he does poor Wilt seems to attract trouble and misunderstanding. Wilt in Nowhere shows that even when Henry tries to disappear and spend time alone bad luck and hilarious confusion pursues him.I've been a huge fan of Tom Sharpe for years and as an aspiring writter myself I aim to emulate his style of far-fetched, creative humour.

Good read
Sharpe at his best, insane plot and insanely funny. I laughed out loud several times and he got the US characters perfectly. Love this, and it really is time that they made audio books of ALL his novels, the ones that are available are hysterical. Blot on the Landscape especially so...
