That Dolphin Thing

By Ian Bone About

Both funny and tough, this novel deals with issues that readers mostly prefer to ignore. The story of Mac, whose Mum is a professor of jokes, but when she is diagnosed with cancer his reaction is to look for cancer jokes to cheer her up. He makes a rash promise to go with her on a swim with the dolphins although he is terrified of the sea and then invents reasons to avoid the commitment. His relationship with Killer complicates things even more.
