Guy Browning

I have chosen Guy Browning as my second author to study, as his work is worlds apart from the classic, southern gothic style of Harper Lee, and is also very current. 

Browning is best known for writing his 'How to' column in the Guardian from 1999-2009, which from he has written three books in collection; Never hit a jellyfish with a spade, Never push when it says pull, and How to be normal. 

His humour is described as being 'gentle and incise', steering clear of politics and cruelty.

Browning has also directed his first film entitled 'tortoise in love' in 2009 as a sort of village community project with himself and the people of Kingston Bagpuize.

So far, my impressions of Guy Browning are that he has a very positive nature and aims to inspire others through the means of public speaking and writing. 
I am eager to delve into this intriguing sense of humour of his, and gain an insight into his high level of optimism.
