I'm re-reading this again. It's a great book.However, as it's set in Kent two thousand years after a nuclear war and written in a decayed phonetic English, it's a tricky read.
Trubba not, read the first few pages out loud in a West Country accent and everything gels together. Oh, and this website helps too.
Apparently, Russell Hoban found his ability to spell nose dived after he finished the book. TRUFAX!
Hey, thank you - I'm glad the RW annotation site is helpful. I came here following back links and, as often happens, found a lot of stuff I like. -Eli
