Incredible Bodies

By Ian McGuire

Alienation and adultery, Pampers and plagiarism, and lashings of sex and satire in a brilliantly funny first novel

Coketown University, also known as the ‘plughole of England’, is where thirty-something Morris Gutman has achieved the mighty heights of temporary lecturer. He’s temporary in other ways too- chronically indecisive, easily distracted and barely awake most of the time. Life didn’t turn out as he planned it when he was a bright young thing: he has a wife who hates her job, a demanding insomniac child and teaches courses like ‘Misogyny and the Novel’ to ungrateful English students.

Morris is hoping to negotiate a permanent department job from under the noses of smarter and better candidates by being obsequious, cheap and willing to do anything. Unfortunately he has to forge his way through the minefield of waffle and back-biting that is academia and most importantly to win over the driven and dangerous Zoe Cable, a sexually voracious research fellow who tends to ignore Morris. She has been focussing her attentions on Dirck van Camper, smug Euro-student and stepson of a famous über-theorist. So when Morris accidentally runs into Dirck in a dark car-park - literally - he finds himself being thrown into Zoe’s game, even though he’s not too sure of the rules. In this sordid and hilarious tale of whopping academic grants, sleeping on the job, sexual confusion and consenting adults, terrifying departmental secretaries, surprise impregnations and alcoholic lecturers we might conclude that most people are just not cut out for university life.

Book is large paperback in excellent condition, brand new with minor  cover scuffing. Bloomsbury 2006. See photo below.

Overview of Bric-a-brac Corners Terms & Conditions

*****See ‘About Me Page’ for more details*****

Bidding on or buying my listings indicates you have read & agree

with my terms & conditions.

 

·         Checkout my other auctions, I am happy to combine Wins to save on post! Payment for items is due within 7 days of auction close. Should you require more time please notify me & we can work something out. Please refer to the payment options for accepted payment methods.

·         Combining Wins & Purchases- You are more than welcome to have several purchases posted together. It’s a great way to save money! Just E-mail to let me know you are still bidding or watching other items. Please DONOT complete checkout until you have finished bidding on all purchases. When you are ready just request a total & it will follow shortly after.

·           International Bidders I recommend getting a post quote, (if it is not stated in the advert), international post can be very expensive. Payment can be made by PayPal only. Delivery times are a guide only, customs can often delay international deliveries. Parcels are scanned on the way out of Australia & again when they arrive at their destination. I cannot track your parcel, unless it is insured /registered. $9 AU covers up to $100 AU. I can post via Airmail (average 4 to 14 business days) or Sea Mail (10 to 20 weeks). Please E-mail if you need a post quote.

·         Non Paying Bidder alerts will be posted, if no contact has been made within 7 days of auction end. I reserve the right to cancel bids by unregistered users or those with bad feedback. Newbies please only bid if you intend to pay. It costs money & time to advertise items on E-Bay.

·        No Contact from me? If I have not contacted you within 48 hours of auction end, it usually means I am having trouble, some virus software etc, prevents my E-mails getting through & I am not always aware of this. I have the most difficulty with international E-mails, check your trash can, often they are treated as spam mail & sent straight to the trash. Please contact me, either by E-mail or phone (request seller details & my number will be provided by E-Bay).

·          Feedback – Please leave Feedback for me once you have received your Win & are Happy. I try hard not to make mistakes, but should it happen please contact me prior to negative Feedback. My feedback speaks for itself & I always hope to deal with you again in the future. So I will do my best to correct any errors.

·         Post & Handling Costs are not refundable. All my auctions list the prices for Australian Deliveries, please only bid if you agree with these charges. I generally post Win's within 24 hours of payment cleared, Sat. & Sun. excluded, my local Post office is closed. (See my Feedback for post speed). For large or International Win's I visit the Post Office twice a week, (Determined by my three kids’, lol!). I can not be held responsible for an undeliverable address. Please provide a deliverable address in your E-bay details, (update, especially if you have moved).

Pick up from Kogarah, Sydney, 2217 is available on arrangement at no charge.

·         Insurance is always an option; the price quoted is for Australia only. If not listed as available in the advertisement just E-mail me & $3 will cover up to $100. Unfortunately once an item is posted I have no control over damage or loss & will accept no responsibility unless the item is registered /insured. (I think Aussie Post does a brilliant job & I get the credit for it in my feedback, Thanks! However, one in 500 parcels does not make its destination). All items are packed, as I would like to receive them, very well! I use recycled packaging where possible.

 

·                    Please ask any questions before bidding.

 

I am a mother of 3 who works from home between the calls of my three delights, the loudest of which is my 7 month old baby. I am a team of one, not a big company. Please excuse any delays, weekends are very hectic & illness in the household can keep me from my computer & the Post Office.

 

Thanks for Looking, Happy Trading!
