Today's Telegraph includes an excellent profile of Nicola Barker, author of The Yips:

Nicola Barker: From cult novelist to Man Booker favourite

I received my copy yesterday, and I'll start it as early as tomorrow.

I finished The Yips earlier this evening, and found it to be an enjoyable but wacky and dizzying ride. I'll review it later this week.

Can't wait to read your review. I just got it from the library this week and am finding it very frustrating to read - I'm finding it over-written and I loathe what seems to be the main character. Having said that I am only up to page 9 so perhaps I'm being a bit harsh. I will need encouragement from more people though to keep going.
