Sam Leith
Sam Leith is a freelance writer and former literary editor at the Telegraph. He’s the author of Dead Pets: Eat Them, Stuff Them, Love Them (Canongate) and Sod’s Law (Atlantic). His first novel, The Coincidence Engine, is due to be published by Bloomsbury in spring 2011, and he’s working on a book about rhetoric for Profile books…
Sod’s Law tells the hilarious – and painful – stories of the unsinkable boat that sunk, the unbeatable horse that lost, and the fireproof theatre that burned to the ground – demonstrating that the entire universe is actually set up to ensure that your toast always lands butter side down and, what’s more, that it lands precisely where the cat has shed hair all over the carpet.
He’s also on Facebook and Twitter, but he doesn’t do much on the former except play Scrabble and he doesn’t do much on the latter except complain.
