Recommended by Gayle
‘A book about a friendship between two quiet men who like board games and comfortable silences. It is, from the first paragraph, extremely funny (“Leonard was raised by his mother alone with cheerfully concealed difficulty, his father having died tragically during childbirth…”), but also at times, a painfully tender account of not quite fitting into the world.’
From the publisher
LEONARD AND HUNGRY PAUL is the story of two friends who ordinarily would remain uncelebrated. It finds a value and specialness in them that is not immediately apparent and prompts the idea that maybe we could learn from the people that we overlook in life. Leonard and Hungry Paul change the world differently to the rest of us: we try and change it by effort and force; they change it by discovering the small things they can do well and offering them to others.
