| Six new motoring books |
|
|
Apparently the six-word novel is all the rage. A development of Japanese Haiku poetry, the six-word novel is presently thought to represent the height of literary genius. But the genre is not new. Hemingway once wrote a truly poignant six-worder: ‘For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn’ and described it as his best work. Not to be outdone, I have written some six-word motoring novels. Man buys new Scirroco. Divorce ensues. Rich divorcee crashes new Ferrari. Result. Diplomat speeds. Child dies. What diplomat? (True story) Demand biofuel. Africa starves. Climate unchanged. Spotted GATSO. Missed van. Another SP30. Diesel drowned. Assasination? Smoke, no spark. Please feel free to recommend any of these for a Booker prize, or have a go yourself. Best entry wins a jar of torque.
