The summer wine didn’t last, it’s time to open the autumn whisky....

In this follow-up to the much-loved Near Varna, join Graham Field as he continues his search to find the good life in Bulgaria.

Preparing for the first winter in his new home, ready to embrace the slower pace of early retirement, he soon discovers that it’s not working. From floods to explosions, from protection rackets to hospitalisations, from coping with the death of his hero to trying to find solace in a confusing and abstract relationship, this is a frank, funny and always heartfelt story of how not working doesn’t always work out, and it might just be Graham’s wildest ride yet.

Not Working is the second instalment in Graham’s celebrated Near Varna series, the hilarious and honest account of one man selling up, buying time, and investing in a new and leisurely life because, much like the listeners of this diary, he is in no hurry to get to the end.

Wonderfully disseminating all the machinations, logistics, and travails of what it means to move to a brand-new country for the first time, Not Working soars up from the humour and wordplay listeners have grown to love in Graham Field's books to a new level of prose, one both poetic and profound.
