Old-style macho man Terry rules the roost in his Hampstead hotel with his sexist philosophy and porno exploits, outrageous language and parenting style, but he is a loyal friend and mentor to his immigrant tenants. The son, who tells the father's story and his own, follows a very different path searching for alternatives. There aren't any boring bits, either in the school bullying and eleven plus traumas or the retelling of his 'hippy' and 'alternative' lifestyle adventures in the '60s, '70s and '80s.
The drama and laughs don't stop when he turns to TEFL, and we have some remarkable insights into local history, customs and colloquial Spanish in the Canary Islands and Granada, where we hear about 13 years in a cave house in Granada. This book is guaranteed to shock, surprise, amuse and inform, or remind, often all at the same time, depending on the reader.
