A biting black comedy that centres on three hopeless expat teachers.
Every year thousands of people travel to faraway lands to teach English as a foreign language.
The fools.
One such expat is Paul Taylor, a heartbroken Aussie looking for a fresh start in a South Korean classroom. The lack of training isn't much of a help, but it's the baffling natives and unhinged flatmates that really start to convince him he's crash-landed in another galaxy.
Packed with over the top characters, English Toss is a demented sitcom of a novel that revels in the extremes of expat living.
*** R-rated for politically incorrect humour and disturbing themes ***
"The author has an excellent ear for dialogue and some of his set-pieces are laugh out loud funny... Dave Franklin probably won't be the last author to offer his take on Korean life - he might just be the most caustic and honest, though." - Groove Korea magazine
"Startlingly different." - Australian Crime Fiction website
"...the writing has pace, and is hilarious in places. An expose on Korean culture on and ESL teaching this book is not. But as a simple black comedy, English Toss is worth reading." - The Korea Herald
Word length: 107,000.
About The Author
Dave Franklin has written eight novels, none of which should be read to small children at bedtime. In fact, his caustic, profanity-filled prose, which often centres on dysfunctional loners, should be approached with caution. Here's a handy guide to his full-length work:
DARK COMEDY - Looking For Sarah Jane Smith, Manic Streets of Perth & English Toss on Planet Andong. A bargain-priced anthology of these three titles - Evil Arse Soup - is also available.
HORROR / SUPERNATURAL / DARK FANTASY - Straitjacket Blues 1-3 & The Goodreads Killer: The Trilogy. A bargain-priced anthology of these three titles - Begin The Madness - is also available.
CRIME / PSYCHOLOGICAL - To Dare A Future & Girls Like Funny Boys. A bargain-priced anthology of these titles - Blundering Blokes - is also available. Riders on the Storm and other Killer Songs.
EROTICA / HUMOROUS - Bawdy Blokes: Three Porno Funnies.
