Tony Marchant – författare

Welcome Home: a 'blistering, exhausting study of the reactions of a platoon of paras recently returned from the Falklands War, uncovers a gaping wound in our society's moral carapace and sets leeches, not balm, to the sores. Marchant creates a nerve-wracking world which always threatens to topple into nightmare, as one after another of the survivors crack, unable to rationalise and find meaning in their comrades' death.' TribuneRaspberry: Intensely moving, an extraordinary achievement for a male writer.' Sunday TelegraphThe Lucky Ones: 'Riotously amusing and highly subversive... Tony Marchant comes of age with a vengeance. In a basement overflowing with boxes and files, four young clerks at a firm of stockbrokers, trapped in an endless round of mindless drudgery, reveal their true selves in a mounting spiral of vividly written arguments and escapades... Marchant's dazzling observations on the petty restrictions and humiliations imposed by employers on those at the bottom of the heap are steeped in acid.' Time Out
