Will Lightman is a Peter Pan for the 1990s. At 36, the terminally hip North Londoner is unmarried, hyper-concerned with his coolness quotient and blithely living off his father's novelty song royalties. Will sees himself as entirely lacking in hidden depths--and he's proud of it! The only trouble is, his friends are succumbing to responsibilities and children and he's increasingly left out in the cold. How can someone brilliantly equipped for meaningless relationships ensure that he'll continue to meet beautiful Julie Christie-like women and ensure that they'll throw him over before things get too profound? A brief encounter with a single mother sets Will off on his new career, that of "serial nice guy." As far as he's concerned--and remember, concern isn't his strong suit--he's the perfect catch for the young mother on the go. After an interlude of sexual bliss, she'll realise that her child isn't ready for a man in their life and Will can ride off into the Highgate sunset, where more damsels apparently await. The only catch is that the best way to meet these women is at single-parent get-togethers. In one of Nick Hornby's many hilarious (and embarrassing) scenes, Will falls into some serious misrepresentation at SPAT ("Single Parents-- Alone Together"), passing himself off as a bereft single dad: "There was, he thought, an emotional truth here somewhere, and he could see now that his role-playing had a previously unsuspected artistic element to it. He was acting, yes, but in the noblest, most profound sense of the word." What interferes with Will's career arc, of course, is reality--in the shape of a 12-year-old boy who is in many ways his polar opposite. For Marcus, cool isn't even a possibility, let alone an issue. For starters, he's a victim at his new school. Things at home are pretty awful, too, since his musical-therapist mother seems increasingly in need of therapy herself. All Marcus can do is cobble together information with a mixture of incomprehension, innocence, self-blame and unfettered clear sight. As fans of Fever Pitch and High Fidelity already know, Hornby's insight into laddishness magically combines the serious and the hilarious. About a Boy continues his singular examination of masculine wish-fulfilment and fear. This time, though, the author lets women and children onto the playing field, forcing his feckless hero to leap over an entirely new--and entirely welcome--set of emotional hurdles.

Are you as tall, say, as Little Red Riding Hood? No? Well, how about a pool cue? Taller than that, you say. Hmm... so how about as tall as Napoleon? Or the World's Longest Moustache? I'm sure that by now one is getting the picture of the amazing piece of intellectual brilliance behind this unusual and distracting alternative to the standard height chart. This device is designed to be carefully and accurately affixed to your favourite bedroom wall and performs the function of enabling one to compare one's self to all manner of creatures and convoluted objects. Genius. Make it to the top and you'll be in the realm of Count Dracula, who, it turns out, was taller than Father Christmas, minus his red bobble hat. Scurry around down at the bottom and you'll be in the company of a T-Rex footprint, being unfathomably small but still almightily scary. For the record, I am taller than a gremlin but shorter than a baby giraffe. Now there is a thought. Our colleague Simon is shorter than a red postbox but much much taller (he would like to point out) than the Enormous Turnip. I'm as Big As...? We promise you'll be marveling at the marvels for yonks.
