Mark Crick

"As with the commander of an army, or the leader of any enterprise, so it is with a Great Writer and his house."
Household Tips of the Great writers covers all your household needs, indoors and outdoors, from pruning a rose bush with Pablo Neruda to mending a dripping tap with Jean-Paul Sartre. Throwing a tea-party? Irvine Welsh has the recipe for the perfect chocolate cake, though that's not all he's cooking. Brilliant, hilarious, and always pitch-perfect, this omnibus edition of Mark Crick's wonderful books of literary pastiche will inform and entertain the most erudite of householders.

Praise for Sartre's Sink: The Great Writers' Complete Book of DIY

Here is the John Sergeant of humorous books, the one who comes out of nowhere to become a surprise success ...It's short, to the point, and when I read it out in the office, my colleagues laughed like drains (which then had to be cleared by Jean-Paul Sartre). Roland White, Sunday Times

Parodying everyone from Goethe to Hunter S Thompson through their handy household hints. It also contains pastiche illustrations which aren't just funny and apt but also rather beautiful. Martin Rowson, Independent on Sunday

This brilliantly inventive DIY manual both parodies and celebrates great authors ... Crick is a brilliant literary ventriloquist ... next time you need to replace a light switch, seal the edge of a sink or put up a shelf, this is the book for you. And you can comfort yourself, as you toil, that at least you're in the company of great writers. Rosie Blau, Financial Times
