Writing Wrongly: The saga of an incomplete wanker

by Thomas Corfield

When the worst writer in history self-publishes his books, the world of literature is decimated overnight. Illiteracy becomes something to aspire to and book burnings become rife. The publishing industry is left hemorrhaging credibility and teeters on the brink of collapse. Its recovery is not a matter of removing said books, or even destroying the same must be done to the mind responsible.

Thomas Corfield is the worst writer who's ever lived, but because of the rubbish he's written, he won't be living much longer.

This Sortabiography is the story of one writer against the entire publishing indus-try. There's lots of swearing and temper tantrums, as well as a brand new psychiatric illness. There's also an excellent cafE scene, which, al-though short, is worth mentioning.

About the author

Thomas Corfield was born in London several years ago, definitely before last Thursday. This was a good year for all concerned, and for him in particular, because without it, later years would mean little. He owes a lot to that first year, and now lives because of it in undisclosed locations after having successfully absconded from probation. Although he finds making friends difficult, this is only because no one likes him. Including his mother, who didn’t bother giving him a name until he was nine. His solicitor describes him as having an allergy to apostrophes and an aversion to punctuation that borders on pathological. This makes the popularity of his books all the more remarkable. At least it would if there was any. But there isn't. So it doesn't. He was recently interviewed in Joomag's Meals of Food magazine, which didn't help anyone.

I listened to this book via Hoopla and really enjoyed the author's reading. Quite funny plot with "saga" being a very good description of this story! I had several laugh out loud moments at the dialog, the crass language and the situations the author found himself in. While I did find some parts to be repetitive, overall this was a quick and easy listen that was entertaining while doing yard work and chores.
