NOT FADE AWAY
‘the best road novel never to be adapted for the big screen … Vanishing Point with a point, Easy Rider with no hippies and a sense of historical depth’ Guardian
‘the writing pulses with heavy abandon’ Sunday Times
‘a book which screams off the starting blocks and just keeps accelerating’ Uncut
‘a potent mix of bawdy folk-tale, philosophy and principled techno-awareness. Strong threads of humanism work within a fabric of vibrant characters, hillbilly landscapes and cathartic wit’ Dazed and Confused
‘snappier dialogue than anyone this side of Elmore Leonard’ Scotland on Sunday
‘expect your brain cells to be frazzled by the funk and fervour of his prose’ Herald
‘an extraordinary little book … a piece of American grotesque that ends with an epiphany as unexpected as it is beautiful. The writing is often as good as writing gets … I expect anyone glancing at this review to make a respectable effort to read this book’ Literary Review
‘[a] witty and sprightly modern allegory … you’ll love it’ Independent on Sunday
‘this novel is fupped uck’ The Times
‘there is a moment of real horror and loss, and then a quite beautiful resolution. The story twists and turns between Twain and Steinbeck but has a fairytale ending worthy of Oscar Wilde. By the way, Fup is the name of the duck, and apart from anything else, this book is very funny’ Sunday Telegraph
STONE JUNCTION
‘an irresistible kaleidoscope of manic, tragic and exquisitely funny Americana’ Time Out
‘an often glorious narrative, peopled by characters of genuine imaginative force’ Herald
‘the kind of book that should make the John Grishams of this world weep into their overstuffed pillows’ Evening Standard
