Richard Glover at The Vanguard

Richard Glover wants to make the world a better, less annoying place one wish at a time.

Do you hate noisy restaurants, pre-ripped jeans and pedestrians who walk five abreast?

Do you also have a problem with plastic-wrapped fruit, climate-change deniers and take-away sandwiches priced at $14.95?

And, most of all, do you think the world would be a better place if people got back their sense of humour?

Here's proof you are not alone. Heartfelt and hilarious, serious but sly, Best Wishes is the encyclopaedia of 'can do better'. It's a plea for a better world – one wish at a time.

Richard Glover has written a number of bestselling books, including Love, Clancy, The Land Before Avocado, Flesh Wounds and The Mud House. He writes regularly for the Sydney Morning Herald and The Washington Post, as well as presenting the comedy program Thank God It's Friday on ABC Local Radio.
