From the Back Cover
and the bitter discoveries that lie in wait.
In Real Life, a veteran of the Soho skin trade returns to his native
Norwich, only to find that the past has followed him home.
In Trespass, the former henchman of a disgraced City tycoon sits in an
East-coast hotel slowly unravelling the truth about the fractures of his
early life.
In The Comedy Man, the surviving half of a once-famous comedy duo tries to
come to terms with the unfinished business of his career.
Menacing and humorous by turns, each is an intensely imaginative
exploration of the difficulties of going back to the places and people who
made us what we are. These novels confirm D.J. Taylor as one of the best
writers of his generation.
"A powerful new voice in contemporary fiction" Jane Shilling, Sunday
Telegraph
"There's much in all this brisk plotting of fortunes made and lost that
puts Trespass at the forefront of modern growing-up novels ... D.H.
Lawrence, wryly expert on gamekeepers and social trespass, would have
recognised in Taylor a fellow adept. He would also have approved the
indignation of Taylor's class-consciousness" Valentine Cunningham,
Independent
"Taylor takes over (H.G.) Wells' form, the pseudo-autobiography, with a
sureness of touch, and an aphoristic panache quite worthy of his master -
and with greater verbal economy and more developed artistry of design" Paul
Binding, Times Literary Supplement
"Taylor ... is the novelist-laureate of sadness, regret and a very English
melancholy" Christopher Hart, Literary Review
"Utterly enthralling in memoir mode ... A rhapsody." Bob Monkhouse,
Guardian
