Title: Afterliff
Description: Faber & Faber. Hardback. The iconic bestselling comedy classic The Meaning of Liff by Douglas Adams and John Lloyd has been continuously in print for three decades. To mark its 30th anniversary Faber will publish a brand new volume of the hilarious dictionary of 'things that there should be words for but aren't'. Birtle n. To make something worse by trying to improve it. Hinton Waldrist n One who persistently returns to a subject no one else is interested in. Melcombe Horsey n. The collective noun for a group of Sloane Rangers skiing with no trousers on and bras over their sweaters. For more than ten years, John has been squirreling away new examples of this delightful genre and has now enlisted the help of Douglas's friends and relations to help him collate a new collection. Contributors will include Polly Adams (Douglas's daughter), novelist Jon Canter (one of Douglas's oldest friends and the unsung third man behind The Deeper Meaning of Liff),and numerous others too famous to mention.
