English Summary/英文概要: TERMS & CONDITIONS is the story of a man named Frank Shaw. As a lawyer who specialises in small print, Frank’s tightly regulated life begins to unspool when he realises that not only his work life, but also his private life, is governed by a strict set of terms and conditions – and the terms are rarely in his favour.

Awards/获奖情况:“It’s wonderful. Funny, poignant, simple and profound - it’s the kind of book I absolutely love. And it has the best ending I’ve read in a very long time”
Gavin Extence, author of The Universe According to Alex Woods
"This great debut feels fresh and playful, and exceptionally readable (footnotes have never been so addictive). it also has stuff to say about life, too, and the importance of seeing the big picture - and the small print. Every book seems to have "funny and life-affirming" written on it but this one actually is."
Matt Haig, author of The Humans
"This tale of a lawyer losing his grip on reality is original, very funny and very poignant. Read it!"
Paul Torday, author of Salmon Fishing in the Yemen
如果你喜欢《也门的鲑鱼渔业》,亚历克斯•伍兹的《宇宙》和彼得•威尔的《楚门的世界》,那你也会喜欢这部《条款和条件》,它会让你捧腹大笑,随之战栗害怕,最后抽泣不已。这是部有关自由和挫折,成功和第二次机会,以及生活中处处都在的恶魔的故事。
For anyone who loved Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, The Universe versus Alex Woods and Peter Weir’s The Truman Show- Terms & Conditions will make you laugh, and wince, and weep. It’s a novel about freedom and frustration, success and second chances and the devils that live in the detail.
About the Author/作者介绍: Robert Glancy出生于赞比亚,在马拉维长大。14岁时,他从非洲移居到了爱丁堡。那时,他真真切切感受到了文化冲击的影响。一些孩子的冷嘲热讽使他改正了自己的非洲口音,褪去了黝黑的肤色,并装得一副开朗快乐的样子。他后去剑桥攻读历史。后又去了伦敦,他此时还不知道自己真正想做的事是什么,机缘巧合就先做起了公关,晚上写作。他现在与妻子和孩子住在新西兰。
Robert Glancy was born in Zambia and raised in Malawi. At 14 he moved from the warm heart of Africa to Edinburgh where he discovered the true meaning of the term ‘culture shock’. He quickly ditched his African accent, lost his tan, and disguised his sunny disposition in a thin layer of teenage cynicism. After Edinburgh he studied history at Cambridge. Then off to London where a career in public relations found him (before he had time to figure out what he really wanted to do). By day he still works in PR, by night he writes. He currently lives in NZ with his wife and children.
