Maggiori informazioni sul libro
A cool, dark, sexy nightdrive of a novel. . . . A new J.G. Ballard. - Toby Litt Jeremy Shepherd has relinquished his London life and moved back home. By day, he has a boring desk job, but Jeremy soon finds a way to break the monotony through illicit sex with strangers in public places. As the police close in, tensions rise. "Jeremy 'The Shep' Shepherd is on a night out in the Midlands. Clean teeth and hair. Black suit, white shirt. In a bag, he has kitchen paper, a banana for energy, some condoms and a tube of KY jelly. He's off to a corner of a supermarket carpark where he won't be caught on CCTV. The Shep is into dogging... yuck, you'd think. But Davies manages to make you see things through The Shep's eyes. As Alex in A Clockwork Orange sought meaning in violence, The Shep seeks it in public sex where people can achieve a state of "hushed, scholarly, reverent concentration". There is 'purity'. There is 'democracy'." - William Leith, The Guardian, Saturday 16 May 2009
