Craig Harrison — Grievous Bodily: a Very Funny Novel

Penguin 1991 Paperback Grievous Bodily is a saga of infidelity, deceit, twarted lust and mad dogs, not to speak of grievous bodily harm with a cricket bat. A sedate university community goes to pieces when two of its members make off with a cache of stolen money belonging to a gang of ruthless idiots. The most unlikely people are thrown together in spectacular fashion, the highlight of which is the case of the amazing exploding pudding. With unerring bad taste, the author who emptied New Zealand with The Quiet Earth now fills it with fractious people and fires salvoes of exploding blancmange at them.
