Like Primo Levi's The Periodic Table The Noonday Demon digs deep into personal history as Andrew Solomon narrates brilliantly & terrifyingly his own agonising experience of depression. Solomon also portrays the pain of others in different cultures & societies whose lives have been shattered by depression & uncovers the historical social biological chemical & medical implications of this crippling disease. He takes us through the halls of mental hospitals where some of his subjects have been imprisoned for decades; into the research labs; to the burdened & afflicted poor rural & urban.

Norahs Nasty Knickers are the nastiest nether garments in the known universe. But it isnt the knickers themselves that are nasty its their owner when shes got them on! Why does Norah turn into such an evil nagbag when shes wearing her nasty knickers? Thats a question for the reader to decide as they embark on yet another strange journey into the mind of Gez Walsh. (It turns out the knickers have had a spell cast on them by an evil witch by the way & after escaping of their own accord they eventually end up by being owned by Anne Robinson. But that as they say is another story.) We go on to meet the Superheroes who arent very effective such as Cow Pat Man (green & smelly) & Pen Man who just writes letters of complaint to villains. We explore the fascination of sleepy dirt (a bogey in the eye is very scary/was it brought by the bogey fairy?) in fact we explore the full range of Gezs subject matter. If you would like to make the acquaintance of King Kong Clive who can juggle six beer crates with one hand Miguel the Nasty Gnat & Cyril the tap-dancing centipede who keeps the other insects awake with his hundred feet youll find them all within these fun packed pun-packed pages. Add to this the goings on at The Vampire party Arnie the muscular termite Sharon the Troll who starts a second career selling beauty products for Avon the delights of t eachers in love & the story of Ronnie who nicks a cow when his school visits the community farm.
