Rohan Candappa: Autobiography Of A One Year Old

Ebury Press

$34.95

Bridget Jones meets the Teletubbies ... The premise is that writers of autobiography are getting ever younger, so this one-year-old thought: why not?

He very wisely realised straight up that a good story lies not merely in the simple recounting of experiences (got up, played, cried, pooed, cried, played, napped etc) but in the "collision of experience with opinion."

Of course, in the interests of humour he's not a particularly benign child, and his opinions on all the mundane occurrences in his life with "Smooth" and "Hairy" - his hapless and barely tolerated parents - could equally come from a grumpy old man.

Too cute for comfort.
