Review
'The Melrose novels are remarkable – ferociously funny, painfully acute and exhilaratingly written. A brilliantly controlled story of a life sent out of control.' (The Sunday Times)
'Our purest living prose stylist.' (The Guardian)
'Humour, pathos, razor-sharp judgement, pain, joy and everything in between. The Melrose novels are a masterwork for the 21st century, by one of our greatest prose stylists.' (Alice Sebold)
'St Aubyn’s prose has an easy charm that masks a ferocious, searching intellect. One of the finest writers of his generation.' (The Times)
Book Description
Bad News is a brilliant portrait of socialite Manhattan and its dark avenues, and of a hallucinatory, desperate attempt to hide from the encroaching past.
