Lost Oasis by Robert Twigger
Bestselling author of ANGRY WHITE PYJAMAS, BIG SNAKE and VOYAGEUR enters into the desert in search of a lost oasis
an amusing tale SUNDAY TIMES Twigger is such a charmer, delightful and poignant by turns -- Duncan Fallowell Daily Express Lost Oasis is very funny in placesBut the jokes never obscure its wider, rather ascetic theme. This is a thoughtful book ... the true act of exploration is internal -- Adrian Turpin Financial Times Twigger is no latter-day Lawrence or Thesiger. He's much more anarchic - and funny - than that and this is an intensely modern book -- Justin Marozzi Sunday Telegraph Try to tie this man down - show him a far horizon and he's straining at the leash, writing with enthusiasm as he sets off in search of an enchanting mirage -- Iain Finlayson SAGA Full of little gems -- Toby Lichtig The Observer The rich vein of mocking self-humour that courses through these pages ... is refreshingly candid -- Barnaby Rogerson Times Literary Supplement
Robert Twigger won the Somerset Maugham and William Hill Sports Book of the Year awards for ANGRY WHITE PYJAMAS. BIG SNAKE was filmed for Channel 4.
