Description
Laid into a detective plot, a slightly absurdist phantasmagoria with musical accompaniment. William’s life is full of troubles. His rock band produces melodic songs that sound like a grotesque parody of Status Quo. His mysterious lover, Madeline, keeps a strange distance. The band director is clearly more interested in mysterious crime than in the musicians’ affairs. And the brilliant singer Karla wants nothing to do with this poor fellow. In short, William thinks his affairs are a mess—until he becomes a witness to a gruesome murder committed by strange dwarfs. And soon, from a witness he turns into the main suspect...
Rock ’n’ roll, murders, love, strange dreams, and even stranger reality. It’s that very Jonathan Coe we love. A funny, witty, slightly frightening, grotesque novel with a light touch of madness—a novel about music and tormenting youth.
