Humorous fiction

Salt's humorous fiction finds comedy in awkwardness, absurdity and very British discomfort – wit used as a way into serious subjects rather than an escape from them.

Bill Broady’s The Night-Soil Men and There’s No ‘F’ in Wonderful sit alongside Tibor Fischer’s My Bags Are Big and Richard Tyrrell’s The Fox of Kensal Green, with Rob Palk’s The Crowd Pleaser and reissued Animal Lovers, and Rosemary Jenkinson’s forthcoming The Appropriators extending the list into 2027.
