My Name Isn't Joe — James Thomas

My Name Isn't JoeModern loneliness and the absence of intimacy amongst London's millions are the ills suffered by the quirky yet deeply melancholic 30-something, Joseph Bogart. Weighed down with emotional baggage and feeling lost amidst a mass of failed relationships, Joseph uses his sharp wit and tragicomedy to fight the hopelessness gnawing at him. Through his trials we discover if Joseph is able to find a successful way out of his life of 'quiet desperation'. Thomas' writing doesn't merely describe a sequence of events, it is much deeper than that, and it is that which I think really sets it apart from that of so many writers. I really found it extremely moving. Bill Goodall - Bill Goodall Literary Agency I think you've got a winner there. Reminds me very much of Nick Hornby's writing. Anne Gillion, ASG Editorial I am an avid reader, but this book honestly blows all the other books I have read recently out of the water. This book is one I will be raving about to friends, family, and colleagues it is amazing. Chantel-Hall Reid - Publishing House Executive I enjoyed every single word of the story, and I think it was masterfully told. I loved the irony that left space for joy and hope even in the gloomiest moments. This is the best book I have read in a long time! Andrea Padurean- Reader
