Sobre IBD

'We are all misfits. There is no such thing as normal. It is just that some are better than others at hiding their peculiarities.' So opens this latest collection from Neil Raffan. Whilst it may be too simplistic to say the content falls into two categories; either travelogues or displays of heart-on-sleeve; it contains the least fiction. The universal themes carry with them a sharp personal edge, however obvious the attempt to deflect it with humour. Travel to Mali or Zambia, Iowa, Mississippi and beyond.
