Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All
The collision of a gangster, a vicar, and a receptionist yields hilarious results in this madcap novel about modern values from a #1 international bestselling author. "Comic genius. . . . This book is the funniest, most irreligious fantasy since The Book of Mormon . . . . Jonasson just gets better and better. Highly recommended." — Daily Express (UK) Killer-for-hire Anders is fresh out of prison and trying to keep his head down when he meets two unlikely new business partners at a one-star hotel: one, an atheist former Protestant vicar fired from her church, and the other the hotel's receptionist, the ruined grandson of an ex-millionaire. Together they cook up an idea for an enterprising venture involving Swedish gangsters that is set to make them all a fortune—until, to everyone's surprise, Anders finds Jesus. It was the perfect plan—except for Hitman Anders's curiosity about the meaning of it all. In conversations with the vicar, he turns to Jesus and, against all odds, Jesus answers him! Anders's sudden interest in religion might be good for his soul, but it's not good for business, and the vicar and the receptionist have to find a new plan, quick. As wildly funny and unexpected as Jonasson's previous bestselling novels, Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All is a zany, feel-good adventure story that tenderly and hilariously explores belief, redemption, and the fact that it's never too late to start again. "Enormous fun. . . . The subversive charm of it lies in the hints that God, or the Universe or whatever, is smarter and funnier than any of us." — The Times (UK) "Jonasson matches the irreverence of his debut The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared . . . . It's a thrilling ride." — Financial Times (UK) "Irreverent and fun." — Irish Examiner

The first mainstream history of humour. Hilarious and well-researched, this book from household name William Hartston, a presenter, author and journalist, makes a perfect gift. Of all human qualities, humour is perhaps the most puzzling. In this very first history of humour, author and humourist William Hartston looks at every aspect of the evolution of humour and our attitudes towards it with a view to developing a proper Theory Of Everything Humorous. From comedy in ancient Greece and jokes in ancient Rome, to laughter in the Bible and the secret of comic delivery; from how humour changed following the American civil war, to how Mark Twain changed written comedy in the English-speaking world, William leaves no stone unturned in his quest to understand what makes us chuckle. Besides being academically well-founded, A History of Humour will, unlike almost everything else written on the subject, be both seriously humorous and humorously serious.
