About the Author:
Patrick Gale was born in 1962 on the Isle of Wight. He was educated at Winchester and Oxford and now writes full time.
Review:
`Gale is intoxicated with words and feeds upon them with a kind of manic relish...The sheer funniness of "Facing the Tank" made me laugh out loud. Its optimism delighted me.' Sunday Times `Gale speedily unleashes his merrily black mischief. The uncovering of the sadness behind the doilies and twinsets is in the best tradition of black humour.' Observer `A commendably intelligent, entertaining and moving novel.' Times Literary Supplement `Original and amusing. An elegant, witty writer with an engagingly bizarre imagination. Patrick Gale writes with great zest. I kept on reading because I was perpetually astonished to find what Mr Gale had thought up next.' Sunday Telegraph `The first thing that catches the attention about Patrick Gale is a sardonic eye, an engagingly leery way of looking at life, or the half-life he has chosen as his base in "Facing the Tank". It's as though "Cold Comfort Farm" had called in the interior decorators.' Guardian
