Bàrd Books on Roman Road – 7th May!

Book of the month:

‘On The Bus Without a Phone’ Babak Ganjei

“Weirdly relatable, endlessly bleak, and laugh out loud funny.”—James Acaster

Taking place over the course of a bus journey en route to a first date, BABAK GANJEI’S debut novel charts the seemingly infinite disappointments, misunderstandings and humiliations that have piled up over the course of narrator Bob Green’s life to date. Bob’s immediate circumstances, and the cast of characters with which he shares them, provide the imaginative jumping off point for digressions on teenage love, suburban ennui, pornography, race and identity, mobile phones, Converse, adult love, fatherhood, fast food, MF DOOM, the etiquette of bus seating and, perhaps most importantly of all, The Remains of the Day.

On the Bus Without A Phone is a dazzlingly intelligent, unashamedly comedic and ultimately moving work from a hugely original new writer.

BOOK AVAILABLE IN PERSON AT BÀRD BOOKS (341-343 Roman Road, E3 5QR) OR ONLINE HERE!

✍️ £15 Tickets, 25 female 25 male!

🥂 Drinks available from Bard Books who have a full bar!
