Set over more than twenty years, Girls Like Funny Boys charts the turbulent adolescence
of wannabe comedian Johnny Goodwin through to his troubled modern day fame. 'Johnny's an immature boy who grows
into an immature, bitter and guilt-ridden comedian,' Franklin said. 'I was fascinated by the idea of a stand-up
who's never seen to be funny, either on or off stage - he's only funny in the sense he's a bit strange. He tries
to purify himself through his art, desperate to create something that will live and make up for his real-life
failings but, of course, the harder he tries the less amusing he becomes.' Despite its innocuous title and
occasional over the top characters, the novel is not a comedy and contains a fair chunk of Franklin's meanest
writing. 'Girls Like Funny Boys taps into school life and the way so much of our personality is formed during the
awfulness of adolescence. You simply can't forget the people you went through school with, while teenage mistakes
can haunt you for decades afterwards.
