Synopsis

'An exciting writer, sharp and shocking as the knives her characters wield' Sunday Times

Like her namesake Jack Kerouac, J.K. is always on the road, travelling Europe with her typewriter in a pillowcase. From J.K.'s irreverent, ironic perspective, Levy charts a new, dizzying, end-of-the-century world of shifting boundaries and displaced peoples.

'Levy is a brilliant writer' Telegraph

'Levy's strength is her originality of thought and expression' Jeanette Winterson
