About this title

Review:

‘Toxic, merciless satire... I don’t expect to read a funnier or more profound book this year’
TIME OUT

‘Womack’s neon prose is enough to light up a world gone dark and mad’

VANITY FAIR

About the Author:

JACK WOMACK is the author of six novels, among them Random Acts of Senseless Violence which
received widespread critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic. When not writing he occupies himself
smoking, shopping, smoking, reading, drinking and smoking. If he’s not doing any of these things, it’s
quite possible that he’s asleep, or in Russia, whichever seems more necessary at the time.
