Adrian Mole: The Wilderness Years by Sue Townsend

June 22, 2020 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

Uh oh! We’re getting into the territory where the vulnerable foibles of youth are turning into the entrenched and ossified frailties of adulthood. Adrian Mole is 23 now and a LOT has happened. I won’t tell you all of it, but among the best of the bunch is that his old friend Barry has written a novel called the “Dork’s Diary” which has found a lot of success, Pandora is working on a PhD (D Phill actually she tells us), Adrian’s parents are held in […]

He also notices that when he tells Pandora and her […]

The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4 by Sue Townsend

April 4, 2020 by vel veeter 2 Comments

An absolutely hilarious and wonderful book in the format of a series of diary entries in the year of the life of a 13 year old boy in Thatcherite England. Adrian Mole is deeply vulnerable and a real twerp in equal measures. The novel begins early in the year as he’s awaiting his 14th birthday. Recent television viewing has convinced him that’s an intellectual, he’s deeply in love with a classmate named Pandora, and he’s witnessing the strange phenomenon of his mother helping to nurse […]
