Description
The extraordinary first novel from the internationally acclaimed playwright.
Raymond Marks is a normal boy, from a normal family, in a normal northern town. His dad left home after falling in love with a five-string banjo; his fun-hating gran believes she should have married Jean-Paul Sartre: 'I could never read his books, but y'could tell from his picture, there was nothing frivolous about Jean-Paul Sartre.' Felonious Uncle Jason and Appalling Aunty Paula are lusting after the satellite dish; frogs are flattened on Failsworth Boulevard; and Sickening Sonia's being sick in the majestic cathedral of words.
Raymond Marks is a normal boy, from a normal family, in a normal northern town. Until, on the banks of the Rochdale Canal, the flytrapping craze begins, and, for Raymond and his mam, nothing is ever quite so normal again.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"His own dramatic reading is hypnotically compelling. I found scenes from the story still whirling round my head days after I had finished listening to it." (Christina Hardyment, The Independent)
