Book description
Iraq-bound young squaddie Ronnie takes something dodgy and falls
asleep for three nights in a filthy hovel where he has the strangest
of dreams. He watches the tattoed tribes of modern Britain assemble to
speak with a grinning man playing war games. Arthurian legend merges
with its twenty-first century counterpart in a biting commentary on
leadership, individualism and the divisions in British society.
Meanwhile Cardiff gangsta Max is fed up with life in his favourite
nightclub, Rome, and chases a vision of the perfect woman in far flung
parts of his country.
Niall Griffiths lives near Aberystwyth, and has published seven
fiction books to date. His 2004 novel, Stump, won the Welsh Book of
the Year Award. He has been published by Bloomsbury and Cape and his
work continues to receive strong critical acclaim throughout the UK.
Niall is also the author of Real Aberystwth and Real Liverpool, and is
a regular reviewer for The Guardian and a commentator on contemporary
writing for a number of magazines.
