W is for “Why be Happy When You could be Normal?”

2012 is the year for you to start reading books (whilst stuck in traffic trying to get home from the Olympics)

Synopsis - Includes stories about a girl locked out of her home, sitting on the doorstep all night; about a tyrant in place of a mother, who has two sets of false teeth and a revolver in the duster drawer, waiting for Armageddon; and, about growing up in an northern industrial town now changed beyond recognition, part of a community now vanished.
