Boris Goes to the Supermarket

Boris happily agrees to go the supermarket for his elderly neighbour but what should be a straightforward errand turns into an epic odyssey of negotiating the absurdities and obstacles of modern life. Along the way, he rescues an abused teddy bear, Teddy, whose irrepressible cheeriness helps Boris on his quest to get his neighbour’s groceries before the supermarket closes. Set in a generically Eastern European city, Boris is a darkly humorous, dazzlingly inventive and refreshingly original novel.
