'Remarkable - a genuine, 100% proof discovery of
great literary importance' Mail on Sunday 'Hilarious, utterly real
and tragic ... A lithe, well-crafted gem of a novel which leaves the
reader disturbed and grinning in a way that makes people sitting
nearby change seats' Scotland on Sunday 'Crackling, twisted,
searing, paced to a deft prose rhythm ... a shot of Gonzo with a rum
chaser' San Francisco Chronicle 'Wild, witty, angry, cynical and
sarcastic ... A funny book that will make your life seem boring by
comparison' Scene
