We will be discussing ‘One Damn Big Puzzler’ by John Harding

On a remote South Pacific island, the struggles of an elderly tribesman to translate Hamlet into local pidgin English are interrupted by the arrival of an unexpected visitor. William Hardt is an obsessive young American lawyer who has come to help. From that moment on, nothing will ever be the same – for what (and who) William finds on the island will challenge both his and our notions about love, life, and even death.

Bursting with good things, from the islanders themselves – with their curious logic, strange notions about sex and addictive rendering of English – to moments of aching sadness as much as life-affirming farce, this exuberantly original novel confirms John Harding as one of contemporary fiction’s most entertaining and observant chroniclers of the human condition.
