Book description

Put Charles Dickens, Chuck Palahniuk, DBC Pierre and Ignatius Reilly into a blender. Drop in a touch of JP Donleavy. Add a taste of Jean Rhys. Press the button. Try not to get your clothes dirty. In the flat he shares with Jabba - an obese hedonist awaiting alien intervention - Manny is reading letters addressed to a previous tenant. The letters convince him to attempt a mercy killing that's witnessed by a sinister narcoleptic who, with ruthless enterprise, begins to haunt the periphery of Manny's life like a strange bad orbiting moon. And then it starts getting out of control... Alex Macdonald is an artist and writer. His early work was portraiture-based and has been exhibited, and won a prize, at the NPG. He has also exhibited at The Royal Society of Portrait Painters and has completed many commissions. His later, unrelated, work has been represented by the Connaught Brown Gallery in London and the Atrium Gallery in the US. He still has gallery representation in America and is working towards his next solo show. Alex works as a scenic painter and scenic artist in the film industry (his credits include Harry Potter, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and many others). Dog Binary is his first novel. He lives in London.
