(Our Hero)
For readers who recall the days when we had a sense of
community, reality and humour, well, this book has it all
in abundance, without pandering to political correctness.
It’s worth a read. The first from this author, it was
written over fifteen years with a unique style that
embraces first and third person narratives, with some
serious aspects of life added to the epistle.
It runs through popular themes such as work, countries,
music, sport, animals, family, and survival. Bear in mind
that Neil was born in the forties and was a product of the
sixties when men were men – and women seemed quite pleased
about that. It depicts real life experiences, some
serious, but draws humour from many unlikely sources.
Critics may say that the humour is of the lavatory type,
but that’s exactly where some did come from. Neil also
identifies some of the idiosyncrasies in life and death,
like council workers. Neil’s response to millennial
protagonists when they whinge about life’s inequities is
“you’re talking to the wrong person”.
About the Author
Neil Cooper, the author of this book, henceforth to be
known as “Our Hero”, was born in 1944 in a village called
Shirebrook, an innocuous mining community in Derbyshire
England. Not an auspicious start in life, but he made up
for it later.
He was destined to join the ranks of literary giants when
he came top in Written Expression at that pinnacle of
educational England: Burns Lane Secondary School in
Warsop.
Neil has four siblings and five children. He has worked in
four countries on three continents and now lives in Hervey
Bay, Australia.
