I just received info about this which is a recording of a story by Jonathan Saffran. I can't see it on Amazon as a book so don't know if its audio only. Sounds interesting:

It is a book - published by Penguin. here I've just finished it and thought it very good.

Interesting though - nowhere in the book does it mention Oskar being autistic but as I was reading it I kept thinking, this kid has real ASD traits.

Reminded me a bit of Curious Incident but with more of a story beyond the main character's ASD.

Thanks HITC, I think I'll get it. More my cup of tea than RL (scary) stories! Need something after Harry Potter!

It is a bit pretentious in the way it tries to be 'clever' (you will see what I mean). But if you can see beyond that it is very well written and I found it quite moving.

If you don't mind waiting a bit I can probably get a copy for you .

Oooh, I don't mind waiting at all! Would be nice to have a cryptic lunch..... are you going away at all?
