The not terribly good book of heroic failures : an intrepid selection from the original volumes

Pile, Stephen2012
Books, Manuscripts
Last year Stephen Pile attempted to deliver a daring blow to the success ethic that so pervades Western culture. To his dismay, 'The Ultimate Book of Heroic Failures' became the Sunday Times 'Humour Book of the Year.' Nothing daunted, Stephen returns with a new selection which brings together the best of his classic titles.
