About this listen
One city. A million encounters. And one that changes everything…
*
Warm, witty and wonderfully observed, ONE MINUTE AWAY is the brand new novel from the award-winning writer and comedian, Mark Watson.
For Damir, time is money. He bikes around the city collecting food orders, rushing through the cycle lanes next to Uber drivers and grocery vans – and all the other people delivering your every desire. He arrives with your sushi rolls and fries and disappears into the night – Ping! Onto the next drop.
He is invisible; one player in the boardgame of the city.
But one summer’s evening, a chance encounter changes all the rules. Damir arrives on Decca’s doorstep with a bag of spilled edamame beans, in a postcode that could be another universe, and there’s an immediate connection.
The man on the bike crosses the divide – suddenly fully seen.
And a throwaway takeaway order sets in motion a chain of events that will change all their lives, forever.
ONE MINUTE AWAY is an unforgettable journey through the veins of the modern city, exploring the very human encounters at its heart.
