		Sharpe's sense of rural American life is rather more broad-brush, but the damage inflicted on an obnoxious millionaire by Wilt's four terrifying daughters shows a sense of just how power works.
		Brilliantly written and bitingly funny, Tom Sharpe's indefatigable hero is pitted against the vices of an aristocratic pervert, the merciless greed of a politician's wife and the seedy underbelly of Britain's medical facilities, deftly exposing the farcical realities of small-town England and America.
		The author, Tom Sharpe was born in 1928 and educated at Lancing College and Pembroke College, Cambridge.

		Sharpe was one of the boys, one of the lads, and it was Sharpe that Lawford now watched with envy, almost jealously, as he ran with complete abandon with his mates.
		Sharpe said nothing, what could he say, and it was a relief when Lawford appeared out of his tent.
		Sharpe was surprised at the force behind Lawford's words, in truth, he was taken aback.

		A classically trained musician, Tom has blended his orchestral background with world music instrumentation to create an experience that invites the listener into the heart of the musical moment - wildly emotional and technically precise, with a gutsy edge of percussive frenzy and tribal ritual.

		Sharpe was as vulnerable and fragile as anyone else, he just didn't usually show it.
		Tom was brought up on a farm, you see, he knew what to do with the charges alright.
		So, Tom put a couple of these charges into the dung, like he'd done with the cow pats back home an' a pinch of powder from his dad's gun, then he sparked up his tinderbox and lit the little fuses.

		THOUGH Tom Sharpe's fiction has earned him comparisons with Wodehouse and Waugh, as well as a solid place on the British best-seller lists, he has yet to win more than a cult following in the United States.
		Sharpe wants to expose the absurdities of daily life in dreary, postwar Britain, and he leaves virtually no aspect of contemporary culture unscathed.
		Sharpe's novels, and his hapless hero soon finds himself caught in a maelstrom of misunderstanding.

		Sharpe knows he will be sent home, but that is what he wants since Jane Sharpe (Abigail Cruttenden) has extracted a promise that the battle would be his last.
		The dynamic of "Sharpe's Revenge" is different from most of the episodes in the series and not just because the big battle scene comes at the beginning (they still have one at the end).
		Meanwhile, Sharpe is being nursed back to health by a young French widow (Ccile Paoli) and while she is interested, he will remain faithful to Jane, unaware she is not doing the same.

	Books at Random House of Canada - Author Spotlight: Tom Sharpe
		In Tom Sharpe’s fourth uproarious Wilt novel, the indefatigable Henry Wilt embarks on the voyage of a lifetime — a cross-country trip through England, without map or compass, carrying little more than a backpack and the boots on his feet.
		In the face of crisis, the instinct of the true Porterhouse man is to reach for the bottle… or, fall back on the traditional Cambridge skills of flmail and kidnap.
		Sharpe’s second South African novel is a riot of hilarity when the local constabulary sets out to terrorize true Englishmen and even truer Zulus, in its relentless search for a perfect South Africa.

	Jim on the Web - Tom Sharpe
		When looking through what book-clubs have to offer, Sharpe's name used to be there always.
		I love a good humoristic story (Wodehouse and Dahl I knew and loved before), and Sharpe certainly fits that category.
		Where Wodehouse is the master of enlarging the silly sides of the British Upper class, and Roald Dahl will play with the sneaky sides of us, Sharpe will slightly exaggerate a situation, and then let it roll itself all by itself and watch what happens.

		Grantchester Grind by Tom Sharpe is subtitled A Porterhouse Chronicle; the novel is a follow-on, some years after, to Sharpe's great English university satire, Porterhouse Blue.

		Mix the old education with Tom Sharpe's erudite wit, high and low humor in Porterhouse Blue and Grantchester Grind, and we have a hilarious commentary on modern times and modern education, so-called.

		~ ~ For any of you who have not yet had the pleasure of reading any work by author Tom Sharpe, this opinion may act as a sort of introduction.
		He is an author very much into farcical humour, a little in the style of P.G. Wodehouse, but much more up to date, and in my opinion, far funnier.

		Wilt (Tom Sharpe, 1976) is a novel about an underachieving assistant lecturer (Henry Wilt), which grows increasingly demoralized by both his simpleminded wife (which he dreams to kill) and his frustrating experiences teaching literature to a bunch of uninterested construction apprentices in a South England community college.
		Wilt gets lured by Sally Pringsheim’s liberal ideas, and talks Henry into attending a party hosted by the Pringsheims, a bizarre hip couple.
