Insignificance

James Clammer’s Insignificance, read by Lee Ross, takes place on a hot summer’s day. Joseph Forbes has returned to work as a plumber having had a nervous breakdown. He is worried about the job, he is worried about the jet stream, he is worried about his wife, he is worried about his son. As he drains pipes, makes tea and puts plasters on his fingers, the devastating events of the past seven years are revealed to us. An utterly engrossing, funny, poignant novel which transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary.

We love the journey Clammer takes us on [...] we love where Clammer urges us to look.

An impressive, uncompromising performance... [Insignificance] gives the inner reality of blue-collar life a respect and attention it rarely gets.
