Parsons still had his column in the Mirror, a weekly rightwing libertarian polemic, and his novel Man And Boy had been published six months previously in hardback, although at this point sales were modest and even he could not anticipate the 1.8m it would sell in paperback.
Parsons is a populist; he lays no claim to being an intellectual.

Parsons turns the NME years into a kind of Jennings adventure, with pills for ginger beer, sex replacing cricket, seedy squats instead of classrooms and 300 words about Be Bop Deluxe for homework.

Man and Wife, the sequel to Tony Parsons' bestselling debut Man and Boy, follows the marital and parental misadventures of Harry Silver, a mawkish North London television producer.
Parsons' fans are unlikely to be disappointed but, to indulge in a vaguely pertinent comparison, this follow up is definitely more Attack of the Clones than The Empire Strikes Back.

Tony Parsons, former music journalist at the NME is currently a Mirror columnist and an author who has written several bestsellers, including 'Man and Boy' and 'The Family Way', the film rights of which were optioned by Julia Roberts.
Rookie journalist and working-class hero Terry is based on Parsons himself, Ray needs to interview John Lennon to save his job and Leon is a middle-class rebel who finds himself on the run from an angry gang called the Dagenham Dogs.
He delivers predictable, reassuring and symmetrical tales to an ever-growing audience, many of whom I suspect were once young and anti-establishment, before the inevitable march of time to middle age and middle-class.

 Amazon.de: The Open Secret: English Books: Tony Parsons   (Site not responding. Last check: )
If you want to know what Tony indirectly recommends in the way of spiritual practice- Tony denies the usefulness of any practice -, let me say that like all Buddhist and Hindu teachers, he tells people to be aware of the present moment, to use his own terms he wants you to "SEE THIS".
And contrary to what Tony proudly claims, it is simply not a message without hope since he states that at death everyone without distinction, Hitler and Pol Pot and Mother Teresa and you, becomes enlightened.
Reading Nathan Gill's "Already Awake" might also help because Nathan, who is a disciple of sorts of Tony's, is much more precise and systematic in his description of the workings of awakening, whereas Tony tends to remain at the level of unexplained negative formulas.

Tony: "To die." He let the silence which followed that go on for about 10 seconds, and it felt like 3 hours.
