About this title

Synopsis

An offbeat novel from an exponent of dirty magical realism. When Mr Broadhurst got his psychic teeth into Ian Wharton - aged 11 - he just wouldn't let go. The result is that now Ian's idea of fun isn't quite the sort of thing to be expected of a 30-something marketing consultant in London.

Review

'This is a brilliant first novel, obscene, funny, opulently written, and, of course, agonisingly moral' (Observer)

'No one else I can think of writes about contemporary Britain with such elan, energy and witty intelligence. Rejoice' (Nicholas Lezard, Guardian)

'Written with diabolical gusto and skill' (Evening Standard)

'Vastly entertaining' (The Times)
