The roaches have no king

I know books without pictures of daftly gorgeous people wearing stupidly expensive “work” clothes are just not fashionable. All those words and all that working stuff out.

Well it’s really a good thing. This book is so cool…if all the words scare you, then you could leave it lying around and pretend you have read it. The hero is a cockroach called ‘Numbers’ named after the book of the Bible in which he was born.

Life in a New York apartment from the point of view of a species that has not needed to evolve in 350 million years. Written in 1990 by Daniel Evan Weiss. It’s a little masterpiece, a sharp and succinct dissection of 1990’s culture and a wild and revealing insight into the cockroach – you will never look at them the same way again.    

“What do you make of a sound that means all this: a small fish of the carp family; a seam of coal; a variety of Portland stone; a cut in a square sail; to clip a horses mane; and the butt of a marijuana cigarette. One more clue “it also means a one hell a handsome insect”.
