Description

Harper Perennial. Softcover. Very Good. One Big Damn Puzzler by John Harding (ISBN: 9780061132186): "One Big Damn Puzzler" by John Harding is a witty and imaginative novel that takes readers on a quirky adventure in the South Pacific. The story follows the misadventures of Dr. William Gascoigne, a British psychiatrist who finds himself on a remote island inhabited by a colorful cast of characters, including an eccentric tribe and a talking parrot. As Gascoigne attempts to make sense of the island's bizarre customs and mysteries, readers are treated to a humorous and thought-provoking tale of culture clash and self-discovery. Harding's narrative is a delightful blend of satire, humor, and social commentary, making "One Big Damn Puzzler" a unique and entertaining literary journey. Crisp, clean, unread book with some shelfwear/edgewear. May have remainder marks, often with a black dot or similar mark, to the top or bottom edge of the book.
