Hold The Enlightenment

'Cahill captures these dramas with such self-deprecating humour and insight that you're more than happy he enjoys putting himself in harm's way'

New York Times Book Review

'Tim Cahill is the working-class Paul Theroux... He delights in finding stories too peculiar to be labelled merely off-beat'

The New York Times

'Tim Cahill is one of those rare types whose fun quotient seems to increase in direct proportion to the diceyness of the situation'

San Francisco Examiner

'This is a collection with something for everyone; each story, in its own way, manages to raise the consciouslness of the reader and reveals that the author, whether he wishes to admit it or not, is absolutely on the path to enlightenment'

Publishers Weekly

'Tim Cahill writes a wonderfully funny and observant book'

USA Today

'Tim Cahill has the what-the-hell adventuresomeness of T. E. Lawrence and the humour of P. J. O'Rourke'
