Description
‘I had this vision very clearly of a book in which I would record my total experience, and I knew how it should sound: with all the tones that no one ever admires, – the Gruesome, Tender, Needy, Sleazy, Boring, the Lurid and the Cute.’In this way the hero of Adam Thirlwell’s new novel describes the book you hold between your hands: a delirious tale of backchat and low tricks, all of which begin when our hero wakes beside a woman who is bleeding, unconscious and not, unfortunately, his wife… And then, of course, events get very much worse.SHORTLISTED FOR THE GOLDSMITHS PRIZE 2015WINNER OF THE E.M. FORSTER AWARD 2015
