Description:
David Mitchell is known for his sharp intelligence, dry delivery and unwavering commitment to questioning the nonsense of modern life. This two-book collection brings together Thinking About It Only Makes It Worse and Dishonesty is the Second-Best Policy — two brilliantly funny essay collections that tackle politics, culture and everyday absurdities with biting wit and refreshing common sense.
In Thinking About It Only Makes It Worse, Mitchell dissects the irritations and contradictions of contemporary society, asking the questions we’re all thinking but rarely articulate. From the dominance of sequels and remakes to the strange rules around swearing, political interference and social etiquette, each essay offers a smart, laugh-out-loud exploration of how modern life manages to be both ridiculous and exhausting.
Dishonesty is the Second-Best Policy turns its attention to a world increasingly shaped by misinformation, algorithm-driven outrage and political chaos. Written during a time of seismic change — from Brexit to Trump — Mitchell applies his trademark humour to topics ranging from elections and public health to cinema trends, advertising and condiments. The result is a collection that’s as insightful as it is entertaining.
Together, these books are perfect for readers who enjoy intelligent humour, cultural commentary and satire that doesn’t pull its punches. Whether you’re already a fan of David Mitchell or discovering his writing for the first time, this collection offers sharp observations, clever arguments and plenty of reasons to laugh — even when the state of the world feels particularly baffling.
