Approximately in the Key of C

by Tony Curtis

Overview

"Curtis's humour and charm, ability to turn a poem with the seemingly simplest of images, and that understanding of how words will play over the listener's ear, are hallmarks brought to the fore on the page... His greatest skill is to make readers go 'yes, of course'; he reminds us of what we've known all along."

Michael McKimm, The Warwick Review
