About The Author

Adam Thorpe was born in Paris in 1956. His first novel, Ulverton, appeared in 1992, and he has published two books of stories, six poetry collections, and nine further novels, most recently Flight (2012). http://www.adamthorpe.net

This is a prodigiously rich and allusive book … We haven't been exposed to such a Rabelaisian gusto of language… if you want to claim that you have lived through this century, that you think you 'understand' its peculiar English seas, its psychological immensities – not least those of self-deception – here is your book.

Other text

Complex and playful, joyous and devastating, something as downright relevant as the tip of your nose … Still is actually a film in fiction. It's as bright and disjointed as The Waste Land.
