Synopsis:

This novel from the author of "Ulverton", follows the fortunes of Ricky Thornby, who used to dream of becoming the Orson Welles of British cinema. Instead, he has succeeded only in making some of the least-known flops in movie history.

Review: "This is a prodigiously rich and allusive book ... We haven't been exposed to such a Rabelaisian gusto of language... if you want to claim that you have lived through this century, that you think you 'understand' its peculiar English seas, its psychological immensities - not least those of self-deception - here is your book." (John Fowles Spectator)

"Complex and playful, joyous and devastating, something as downright relevant as the tip of your nose ... Still is actually a film in fiction. It's as bright and disjointed as The Waste Land." (The Observer)

"Enduring, effervescent ... A masterpiece of slipstreaming, sinuous prose." (Scotland on Sunday)
