The London Review of Books Personal Ads: A Reader.
They call me naughty Lola. Run-of-the-mill beardy physicist (M, 46).
'Disaffiliated flaneur, jacked-up on Viagra and on the look-out for a contortionist trumpeter' ran the first personal ad submitted to the London Review of Books. The quality has remained the same ever since, and it is now the world's funniest - and most erudite - lonely hearts column. Expectations of finding a suitable mate remain low, but it has produced a handful of marriages, many friendships and at least one divorce. Here the fruitiest of the ads are brought together for the first time.
