Beskrivning

In an attempt to escape his bizarre family and stagnation up North, tv soap-addict Alistair Strange moves to Fulham where he lands a job editing for a vanity publisher. It is an odd kind of job, but he is used to oddness: his parents are strange, his elder brother is strange his name is strange... The behaviour of his lovely but troubled flat-mate Martha, however, is odder than anything that Alistair has encountered before. Can he rescue Martha? Can he find out what his family is hiding? And is life better than tv?

Recensioner i media

"A work rich in humour and insight" Independent on Sunday "A hotbed of lust and intrigue... Byalis has created a world which intertwines sparky characters from all walks of life. Engrossing and fast-paced" The Face "A narrative voice that is original enough to get noticed and is pickled in black humour" Daily Mail "An excellently written and consistently funny book whose harsh, archly written observations on the absurdities of urban living make great reading" Big Issue
