註釋The stakes couldn't be higher: the destiny of the universe! Eddie, slacker extraordinaire, and his best friend, the permanently 'resting' actor Justin, have never really bothered with life's big questions. They are too busy down the pub quaffing pints. But when they visit their mate in a small town in the north of England, ready to have yet another bloody good time, things take a surprising turn. Two oddly familiar celestial beings, Alf and Ome, make Eddie the focus of a game to decide the supremacy of good or evil, once and for all. However, when they fail to play by their own rules, all out war is declared and Eddie and Justin are transported to the ethereal world of Alf and Ome, where Eddie uncovers their hidden truth and the tables are turned. Over the course of a weekend, the two friends, buffeted by supernatural forces, inadvertently trigger a plague and a major police operation against porn movie production. They revitalize an elderly couple's sex life, cause a police constable to eject a marigold glove from his rectum and another officer to release 50,000 volts from a Taser gun into a suspect's meat and two veg, as well as send a woman with Tourette's on an hallucinogenic mushroom trip. Oh, and witness the waters of the local levy parting and the creation of a new universe. This bawdy tale-in true -Chaucerian tradition-weaves multiple subplots around the key characters' encounter with the forces of good and evil. TRIP climaxes in an out-of-this-world confrontation between Eddie and Justin and Alf and Ome that unlocks the secrets of creation philosophers, physicists, theologians and cooks have failed to do: How did we get here, where do we go after we die and the recipe for Coq O'Noodle Do? "The most offensive book I have read, very, very funny!" "an enjoyable mix of Ray Cooney and Tom Sharpe" "My fellow commuters stared at me when I cracked up reading the bit where the glove re-enters the world" "brilliant, very inventive and funny, very English"
