Set in the cities & islands of the Mediterranean, & linked thematically, the eight stories in The Foxes Come at Night read more like a novel, a meditation on memory, life & death. Their protagonists collect & reconstruct fragments of lives lived intensely, & now lost, crystallized in memory or in the detail of a photograph. & yet the tone of these stories is far from pessimistic: it seems that death is nothing to be afraid of. ...

” My comedy career began in 1971, which proves I have no comic timing. In 1971 there were no comedy clubs, no comedy agents & not much comedy future.” Inspired by Spike Milligan, John Dowie embarked on his comedy career in a time when such a thing was virtually unheard of, & then, just as alternative comedy began to be recognised by popular culture, he quit. & so began his next obsession
- riding his bike. Having been blessed (or cursed) with an addictive personality, Dowie quickly realises that what was once a simple hobby
- cycling
- will soon become something very different... This book follows a similar route to his cycling habits: it meanders from place to place, occasionally gets lost but is unfailingly entertaining. Wending his way through France & Holl&, round the lanes of Norfolk & over the hills of Devon, Dowie expertly leads his readers on a delightful journey through the trials, tribulations & triumphs of his life so far.
