The setting is Cape Town in the late 1960s. Young Henry Fuckit has moved to South Africa after leaving the private lunatic asylum where he grew up. He soon discovers he has entered a world that is quite as crazy as the madhouse he has just left. In part two of The Life Of Henry Fuckit Ian Martin continues the ridiculous saga that describes his alter ego's journey from the cradle to the grave. Henry makes a friend or two, he finds a job only to discover he's allergic to work, he has his first sexual encounter, he gets caught up in a bizarre drama in a gun shop, he leads the life of a student without doing any studying - and all the while he keeps up a hilarious commentary about the absurdity of the human condition.
This is pseudo-philosophical comedy at its very best.

Biographie de Ian Martin

At the age of 50 Ian Martin gave up his regular job and moved to a remote coastal village near the southern tip of Africa. Drawing on his experiences as an insurance clerk, naval store man, lavatory attendant, assistant farm foreman, temporary school teacher, hospital orderly, weather station medic and house builder, he began the next phase of his life. Now, after more than a decade, he has produced three novels, a fictionalized autobiography and many short articles and stories, and he is still writing.
When asked how he has been able to survive for so long without having written a bestseller, he says he is entirely dependent on his wife, who goes out to work. Otherwise he would have died from starvation.
