The Incomplete Tim Key. Tim KeyЧитать онлайн книгу.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Key is now 38 years old and has problems with his back, which began in April 2012 in Melbourne, Australia, when he kicked a bath in a rage. This snapped his toe, and his resultant new stance gradually gnawed away at his spine. In spite of his poor health he has plugged away with his poetry and his Instagram account is now booming. He has also wormed his way into Alan Partridge’s affections as Sidekick Simon and Radio 4’s affections as himself, with a third series of Tim Key’s Late Night Poetry Programme. He and his Dutch friend have continued to film short but sweet incarnations of his verse, which they are trying to get on YouTube. Amongst all of this he has been fisting various desks, demanding this paperback be made. So this object represents a huge victory for Key.^*
