Bohemians believe that if you travel light and live for today, you'll never grow old...Novelist Max Napier didn't set out to make a mess of his life but if you choose to entertain romantic notions and a raffish self-image, it's always on the cards. Now on the brink of turning 50, he's alone in his little flat, out of ideas, out of love and out of fashion. A chance meeting with an old friend arrests the spiral, but not all the ghosts from Max's past are benevolent and there are tricky curves to negotiate on the road to redemption. Paul Thomas' new novel is a darkly funny portrayal of baby boomer mid-life crisis and a dazzling satire of fast-money raunch culture and the way we live now.
