Hold onto your sides! The author of the uproarious The Llama Who Had A Hole Through His Head is back with a second book of stories of humour. Martin Smith and his motley troupe of players return to present In Finite Jest, a collection of fourteen madcap tales filled with absurd surrealism, sharply observed insight and, above all else, endlessly entertaining fun.

A woman unlucky in love purchases a micro-husband on-line. A snobby wine enthusiast applies for a grant from the Arts Council, then seeks to enhance his chances of success through his "lived experience". A young lamb comes of age, only to struggle to find his true place in the world. Five friends and an unexpected other race to determine who is the fastest amongst them. A garbo attempts to win a much-coveted gold medal. Two brothers setting off to the Great War make a solemn promise to their new brides. A lonely hippopotamus finds friendship and fame when she becomes a comedian. And the first couple are in therapy. These hilarious stories are sure to have the reader laughing out loud and leave them wanting more.
