Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generally Farting About has something to offend everyone. It follows Jim Tyler, lurching from one purposeless catastrophe to another, dancing round the fires of success that others more fortunate (or talented) have ignited. The saga interweaves those universally appreciated old standbys—sex and ribald depravity—with conflicts and storms in teacups across Europe, the Mediterranean, Lebanon, North and South Africa, Australia, China, even the contested wastes of a bleak Antarctica. Generally Farting About documents skullduggery and history in the making, as English filmmaker Jim tilts and collides with the world of advertising, lurks the corridors of political power in London, and ricochets on a roller coaster between Hollywood and the guarded underbelly of high finance, eventually soaring to the heights of anonymity with one of his films gracing the cinema screen for a Royal Command Performance. Encompassing all the frailties of working class life: greed, passion, greed, betrayal, greed, megalomania, groveling ineptitude and last but not least, love, Generally Farting About is a tale of wonder and suspense, one of life’s great treats. Don’t miss it.
