SynopsisA Japanese monastery. A hermit called Kermit. Rocks. A former nun. A sex worker. A professor with a foot fetish. A course in Japanese cookery secrets. More rocks. A motorbike-stealing god. A policeman with a randomness phobia and dandruff. Stones. Oh, and the (potential) end of the world . . . It starts with the theft of a rock from a monastery garden. And then a second. And a third . . . It ends with -- well, the end of the world. In between, there is madness and mayhem, some philosophical musing ('Are you happy? If you're not sure then you need to do more Zenslacking. Stay on the bus a few stops too far and then amble back. If you never take buses, take one' . . . ), not to mention plenty of action, adventure, sexual tension and the right way to make sushi . . . Praise for Dr Ragab's Universal Language 'Part Boy's Own adventure, part magical mystery tour' Metro 'Wonderfully inventive and entertaining' The Times 'Mixes Paulo Coehlo with The English Patient . An unlikely combination but, magically, it works' Financial Times 'Absurdly entertaining . . . The real pleasure of reading Twigger derives from his knowing things other people don't' Guardian
