Alan Redman is a man living on the edge. On the edge of Golders Green, to be precise, in a bedsit that remains his fragile kingdom despite drug-fueled arson attempts and assaults by well-meaning friends, ex-girlfriend’s fathers and hospital staff.His fridge contains beer. His sofa contains Alan. Sex is on his ‘to do’ list. Life is almost perfect. But Alan’s personal Xanadu is about to be invaded by a hostile alien: in the shapely form of a busty Australian femme fatale who has only one thing on her mind: world domination. Alan’s world, and what follows is the hilarious, often achingly personal, tale of one man’s fight for his property, his sanity, and even his life. This is the story of Alan Redman’s fight for the right to loaf.
