LEONARD AND HUNGRY PAUL is the story of two friends who ordinarily would remain uncelebrated. They change the world differently to the rest of us: we try and change it by effort and force they change it by discovering the small things they can do well and offering them to others.

Leonard and Hungry are two quiet friends who see the world differently. They use humour, board games and silence to steer their way through the maelstrom that is the 21st Century.It is the story of two friends trying to find their place in the world. It is about those uncelebrated people who have the ability to change the world, not by effort or force, but through their appreciation of all that is special and overlooked in life.Chosen for BBC Radio 2 Book Club

Leonard y Hungry Paul rondan los treinta años y comparten una peculiaridad de lo más extraordinaria, al menos para tratarse de los protagonistas de una novela: sus vidas son normales. Leonard, abatido por la muerte de su madre, redacta entradas para una enciclopedia infantil. Timido e introvertido, rehuye la vida social, pero anhela encontrar a alguien con quien compartir el asombro que siente ante la belleza del universo. Hungry Paul, por su parte, vive con sus padres, con quienes se muestra considerado y cariñoso, pero es un solitario empedernido y no tiene ninguna ambicion ni deseo de cambiar nada en su vida. Felices y satisfechos con tenerse el uno al otro, estos dos amigos tratan de encontrar su lugar en un mundo.
