Rejoice, for Uma o'Gil has done it again! "No Histrionics Please" is available now for only three quid, complete with badly drawn cover.
The companion piece to "You Know Yourself 2.0",
"No Histrionics Please" revisits the opulent center of Dublin circa 2005 and undercuts its misguided attempts at madcap satire with (largely unsuccessful) helpings of Gothic horror.
Featuring the likes of Roy Keane, Sinead O'Connor, Eric Cantona and many others, "No Histrionics Please"is an equal opportunity offender that takes no prisoners and asks the question: what if we were -in fact- fundamentally wrong?
"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."
You'll laugh (at the bad English), you'll cry (at the amount of of minutes that you'll never get back reading it), but mostly you'll cry (with relief that this one won't stretch to 300 pages).
