About This Item
Synopsis
Angelica's Grotto is a pornographic website into which seventy-two-year-old art historian Harold Klein wanders one evening. Klein, a walking catalogue of infirmities known to medical consultants as 'he who declines to hop the twig', may not be up to much physically but there's a lot of sex going on in his head.Russell Hoban takes this premise and shows why he is one of Britain s most startling, original and funniest writers. Harold first visits Angelica's Grotto after losing his 'inner voice', that censoring mechanism that keeps us from blurting out the first reckless thing that pops into our heads. As well as consulting a therapist about this new lack of mental privacy, Harold begins a one-to-one onscreen dialogue with Melissa in the Grotto. 'If I had an inner voice I wouldn't be telling you all this,' he explains. But when the flesh-and-blood Melissa enters his life with her large and well-hung colleague Leslie, Harold finds he needs to keep the angina medicine at the ready. His odyssey takes him not only through erogenous zones but into various corners of the London art world, down the underground and up the buses.

CUSTOMER SERVICE:
I try to provide excellent customer service.

I sell a lot of collectible items, and I package them well. I use the golden rule of packaging. I ship things the way I would like to receive them.
If you have any questions about an item. Please ask BEFORE ordering.
RETURNS AND REFUNDS:
1) All buyer returns are subject to a 15% restocking fee (with the exception of seller mistakes, see point 2 below; or orders that are cancelled by the buyer BEFORE they ship). This includes orders made by mistake; buyers remorse; not the item you meant to order; not what your loved one wanted for Xmas or birthday, etc.
Original or return postage will not be refunded.
So, make sure you want to order something BEFORE you purchase.
Feel free to ask any questions for clarification before ordering. I try to get back to messages quickly.
If an item is returned damaged, higher restocking fees may apply, so make sure returned items are well-packaged and insured.
2) If I make a mistake with an order (hopefully this will not happen) I will assume all costs for returns and refunds.
I do not want someone else to pay for a mistake I make... but do not want to pay for someone else's mistake, either.
