'Spellbinding ... Enormously entertaining and extremely funny' Guardian
David Nobbs was born in Kent. After university, he entered the army, then tried his hand at journalism and advertising before becoming a writer. A distinguished novelist and comedy writer best known for The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin, David Nobbs was acknowledged by his peers as a comic genius. He died in August 2015.
A funny, touching and reflective study of life and love that not
only reinforces his status as one of Britain's finest comic
novelists, but also lays claim for him to be considered as one of
our shrewdest and most compassionate writers ... A wonderful novel,
mature in its handling of life's triumphs and tragedies,
warm-hearted and witty in its insight into the nature of love
*Yorkshire Post*
Going Gently, like all the best comic novels, mixes sadness with
laughter to great effect ... probably Nobbs's finest work
*Independent*
An extraordinary rich and satisfying novel ... I laughed
constantly
Spellbinding ... Enormously entertaining and extremely funny
*Guardian*
We should be thankful for the continued brilliance of David
Nobbs
*Mail on Sunday*
