Perfect English is the second blackly comic novel by British writer Paul Pickering.

[1] The novel was long-listed for the Booker Prize[2] and received very favourable reviews.

[3] Pickering was for a while under siege in the Nicaraguan town of Bluefields, where he helped former Baader-Meinhof printer, novelist and playwright, Peter-Paul Zahl, build a Bertolt Brecht youth theatre after his first was destroyed in the invasion of Grenada.

[4] A central concern of the novel is to illustrate how the best intentions can go horribly wrong.
