Travelling through a country he has always dreamed of visiting, the author is confused and perplexed by India; a land he... More > does not understand, and one that does not conform to the rules of any society or culture he has yet encountered.
This book is the story of his attempt to make sense of it all. Join him on his journey through the enigma that is India, and see what happens when a cynical neurotic western rationalist is confronted by the spiritualism, poverty and anarchy of India. From the teeming masses of Delhi and Mumbai, to the deserts and forts of Rajasthan and the beaches of Goa, the author gives his unique perspective on all of it.

David Vincent is a man at war: at war with the office; at war with himself; and at war with the screen that stares into his... More > eyes.

David is a hero for our age: the last man in the office.
Join him on one 9-5 day, as he strives to expose the dark power behind the screen; hampered only by his delusional visions, his descent into madness, and his inability to conduct small talk.

Inaction Man, a 21’st century Superhero, lives as a bum on the streets of Paris, defending humanity against the Forces of... More > Evil and the Dark Lords who control them.

More by default than by design, the author finds himself on a six-month contract in a remote part of northern Vietnam. As... More > the year ends, he travels south, through a land that refuses to conform to the cliché the world has built around myopic Hollywood war movies.
In attempting to understand the country, he is forced to try to understand himself; and looking inward as much as outwards, he seeks an epiphany in each of the book’s nineteen chapters; questioning, for example, the relationship between journey and destination in ‘Ode to a Sleeper Bus’; the loss of youth in ‘China Beach’; and the nature of risk in ‘Rules of the Road’.
Humourous, insightful and literary, Notes on Nam operates on many levels. < Less

About Phillip Donnelly

The author was born in Birmingham but grew up in Dublin. After completing a psychology degree, he realised that he was profoundly misanthropic and set about travelling the world looking for aliens to take him to another planet.
Unable to speak any foreign languages and almost incapable of holding a conversation in his own, he decided to teach English as a foreign language, and has unsuccessfully searched for life from outer space in classrooms in the following countries: Spain, China, Russia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Beirut, Dubai, Sri Lanka, Lebanon, France, Vietnam and Oman, and he will soon relocate to Hong Kong.
A dozen of his short stories and many travel writing pieces have appeared online.
