Simon Fawkes

Around the World in Farty Haze Simon Fawkes

Nineteen year old Simon Fawkes suffers from a spasmodic wind problem as he hauls his fat bulk through this hilarious account of a journey through the Americas. From seedy San Francisco sex clubs through stomach upsets in Mexico, uncontrollable flatulence at Machu Picchu, becoming stranded in a snowdrift in Bolivia to being sick at a foam party, the tale is told in a way that makes the tears stream. His humour operates at many levels; from the subtle to the toilet. But this is much more than just a tale about farting. Skilfully crafted, we gain a witty insight into the places and characters the author encounters in this illuminating travel story.
