From the moment pub landlord and keen amateur entomologist Arnold Matson arrives in Blinkington-on-the-Treacle to take over his new hostelry, we are led through a colorful collection of vignettes and poignant flashbacks that are both comically funny and disturbingly familiar. Following the loss of his fianc├®e several years earlier, Arnold Matson's mind is confused and fragile, but as he slowly settles into his new routine in unfamiliar surroundings, the fragility and guarded secrets of other parishioners give him an insight into his own fallibility and unforeseen strength of character. Set in an imaginary backwater village, Dandruff Hits the Turtleneck dips delightfully into the intricacies and miniscule absurdities of everyday life.
