Author’s first novel. “On the eve of his twenty-second birthday, Bogle – failed student, failed lover, failed friend – unravels the guilt-laden past while battling with the present: the roofless nights, the suppurating knife wounds sustained in a brawl, his envy of the warm and well fed. But Bogle – ugliest baby of an ugly family, schoolboy wonder, teenage drunk – is not easily put down and his litany of woes is infused with such lively self-mockery and couched in such flamboyant prose that it seduces the reader with its rebellious optimism.” IN STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE DESPATCH
