'I had this vision very clearly of a book in which I would record my total experience, and I knew how it should sound: with all the tones that no one ever admires, – the Gruesome, Tender, Needy, Sleazy, Boring, the Lurid and the Cute.’
In this way the hero of Adam Thirlwell’s new novel describes the book you hold between your hands: a delirious tale of backchat and low tricks, all of which begin when our hero wakes beside a woman who is bleeding, unconscious and not, unfortunately, his wife... And then, of course, events get very much worse.

Recensione:
"A dazzlingly imaginative comic noir" (Financial Times)
"The narrator of Thirlwell’s latest book may be his best creation yet... The way time works here – pulled and stretched, sped up and sped down – testifies to Thirlwell’s mastery as a storyteller... Impossible to put down" (New York Times Book Review)
"An extravagantly talented novelist" (Evening Standard)
"Reading Thirlwell is like going into the happiest, cholesterol-clogged form of literary existence. Whether he’s writing about the decline and fall of our civilization or a guy who thinks he’s accidentally killed his lover, the prose bounces us into a state of fulfilled happiness and wonder" (Gary Shteyngart Salon)
"Reads like a collaboration between Kundera and Murakami to adapt SJ Watson’s Before I Go To Sleep or Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl into post-modernist fiction" (Guardian)
