Douglas Adams - Dirk Gently: The Long Dark Tea-Time Of The Soul£7.99 Free DeliveryRRP: £15.99 | You save: £8.00 (50%) In stock | Usually dispatched within 24 hours ![]() |
The 2nd series of adventures for Adam's surreal detective.
Kate Schechter would like to know why everyone she meets knows her name - and why Thor, the Norse god of thunder, keeps showing up on her doorstep. It takes the sardonic genius of Dirk Gently, detective and refrigerator wrestler, to get to the bottom of it all. Was the passenger check-in desk at Heathrow's blasting through the roof really an Act of God? (And if so, which?) What's going on at Woodshead Hospital? And why is a severed head spinning on a turntable, its body sitting amiably nearby? Only the sleuthing of Dirk Gently can uncover these mysteries, and only the absurdist wit of Douglas Adams can recount them with such relentless humor.

Dirk Gently's Triumphant Return
Darksmile | 24/12/2008 | See all Darksmile's reviews (2) »
Following on from the excellent first series, this takes us deeper into the surreal world of Dirk Gently and his Holistic view of the interconnectedness of all things. This time he gets caught up in a power struggle between gods and men. The book it's based on is good, this adaptation is significantly better. The cast are stunning, soundscapes are an auditory treat - this is what radio drama should be. Recommend listening to the first DG series, and Hitchhikers Guide beforehand.
