From the prize-winning author of The People's Act of Love and We Are Now Beginning Our Descent
Sounds like easy money: collecting an antique for a rich stranger. Alan Allen, freshly unemployed, short of cash, and caught up in a bizarre case of mistaken identity, is about to find out otherwise. But not before being swept on a European wild-goose chase in this refreshing, surreal and gloriously funny novel.
As though David Lynch has been let loose on the set of a drawing-room comedy. * * The Times * *
A compelling tour de force. The maniac energy of Kerouac pulses throughout the prose. Extraordinary. * * Scotsman * *
More Groundhog Day than Grand Tour, this is existential travel angst at its best. * * Guardian * *
One of the country's finest writers * * GQ * *
Outstanding. Not unlike finding yourself in a hall of mirrors. Meek has a gift for the surreal. * * The Times * *
