Book description
WHAT MAKES LIFE WORTH GETTING OUT OF BED FOR? Mal isn't like the other
kids. So remarkable is his childhood that his family waits for the
incredible things he seems born to do. Then one day he goes to bed,
never to get out again. Recounted by Mal's younger brother, Bed is a
coming-of-age story like no other. It chronicles the metamorphosis of
one extraordinary man, and explores what love, loss and family can do to
you in a lifetime. Enchanting, funny, surreal and heartwarming, David
Whitehouse's novel presents one of the most thrilling and unique voices
to emerge from Britain in years. 'David Whitehouse has taken a romance
triangulating around a bedridden media spectacle, and turned it into a
soulful meditation on a fraternal love, as singular as it is universal.'
