Publisher's Synopsis
Whether assuming the voice of a batty old lady hearing voices from her plug sockets or that of an agent representing an avant-garde artist with designs on Nelson's Column, Guy Piran set out to see just how seriously he could be taken by the great, the good and the middle managers of the nation. Putting more than a toe into the realm of the absurd, both the automaton responses to the plainly bizarre and the replies that enter into Piran's weird worlds are sure to have you reading again and again. Guy Piran wrote two thousand letters over a period of one year. It became an obsession. When he completed the 2,000th letter he set out across East Sussex with two friends and a van, and posted them in every pillar box and post office he could find. Then he sat back and waited for the replies...the result is Spoof.
