Disaster in His Wake by Ray Noyes

Disaster in His Wake by Ray Noyes

Ardent communist, defender of the proletariat, and bin man, Horatio is convinced he has a calling to transform the village of Abertump and wake it from its sleep. Self-appointed leader of men, his confidence knows no bounds, even when disaster stares him in the face. From school expulsion to army court martial, he seems destined to confront authority. His desire to go his own way leads to some DIY disasters as he sets up his own Kremlin in his tiny terraced house. Using cast-offs from the village and sand from the beach, his lean-to quickly becomes a dangerous lean-over. His problem-solving skills also leave much to be desired, as he cuts a wardrobe in half to move it upstairs, and fits a new fireplace while the old one is still alight. Follow Horatio's exploits and spare a thought for Gladys, his permanently-on-the-verge-of-death wife.

Noyes, Ray: - They say that to be a good scientist one must have a good imagination. Ray Noyes would like to think that his time spent at CERN, the home of the Large Hadron Collider, so exercised his imagination to prepare it for writing satirical books about Horatio Evans. Ray studied under a Zen master for some twenty years or so and eventually was given permission to teach basic Zen, which he did at a Buddhist retreat centre in the hills of mid-Wales, near Llandovery.
