Review:
"Hawes has developed into a prolifically inventive and increasingly subtle satirist. Though the current novel features all his regular trademarks - black humour, sharp dialogue and a plot that goes off with all guns blazing in every respect - one senses that this book is also Hawes's homage to one of the great academic satires of the last century, Malcolm Bradbury's The History Man" (Guardian)
"Very witty... Both laddish and slyly intelligent, Hawes has his cake and eats it" (Daily Telegraph)
"Terrific black satire" (Toby Clements Daily Telegraph)
"Hawes scatters pellets of satirical wit on the twitchy paranoia of the ageing liberal" (Arena)

"Hawes scatters pellets of satirical wit on the twitchy paranoia of the ageing liberal" (Arena)
Set in the world that he has made his own - that of middle-class Englishmen struggling with the mortgage, low self-esteem and dreams of sash windows - this is Hawes at his sharpest and funniest.
