Dennis Orphen is a young, clever novelist with a keen eye for a good story. This time, however, his material is drawn from the romantic woes of his closest friend, Effie Callingham. More than a decade earlier, Effies husband-the superstar writer Andrew Callingham-abandoned her for a younger, prettier woman. In the years since, Effie has stubbornly defended his reputation, clinging to the desperate hope that he might one day come to his senses and return.When Denniss novel is published, their friendship is put to the test. In his thinly veiled portrait, Effies private pain is exposed to a scandal-hungry literary society, while Andrew is unmasked as a womanising egoist. Meanwhile, Dennis finds himself entangled in romantic troubles of his own, locked in an uneasy relationship with Corinne, a married woman whose presence provokes both longing and jealousy.Together, Dennis and Effie are forced to confront unpalatable truths about themselves in this immensely entertaining yet deeply poignant satire, set in the seedy underbelly of New York society, from brandy-drenched nightclubs to cab-lined curbs.

Certainly fine enough to not need her daughters soon-to-be-ex-husband, Nathan Whitlock, playing nurse in her home while she recuperates.

Extraordinary . . . It will touch your heart and mind in ways you will not see coming JANICE HALLETTAnd thats why I want to be called ScoutIts most unusual, said Clock.Shes the one who listens and learns, Scout said.

Someone knows about Julia Glynns affair. She and husband Michael are the envy of their neighbours: prosperous, devout, the model couple. Then one day, an anonymous letter arrives with the morning papers, describing Julias trysts with Michaels nephew in obscene detail.Frantic with suspicion and frustrated desire, Julia imagines catastrophe in their small, curtain-twitching town. As the letters keep arriving, she struggles to retain composure and proceed with plans for a family pilgrimage to Lourdes - only for other buried scandals to come knocking at the door of their pristine home. Frank in its depiction of sexuality and queerness in 1950s Ireland, The Pilgrimage was immediately banned on original publication. Outrageous and bleakly funny, it is a powerful evocation of the corrosive effects of repression.

Disgusting and brilliant should earn Meades justifiable comparison to Joyce, Celine, Pynchon Paul Spike, Vogue.At first glance, this 1993 masterpiece is a post-war family saga set in and around the city of Portsmouth. This doesnt come close to communicating the scabrous magnificence of Meadess creation. Pompey is an obscene, suppurating vision of an England in terminal decline.The story begins with Guy Vallender, a fireworks manufacturer from Portsmouth, who has four children by different four different women. Theres poor Eddie, a feeble geek with a gift for healing; Mad Bantu, the son of a black prostitute, who was hopelessly damaged in the womb by an attempted abortion; Bonnie, who is born beautiful but becomes a junkie and a porn star; and finally Jean-Marie, a leather-wearing gay gerontophiliac conceived on a one-night stand in Belgium.The narrator is Jonathan Meades, cousin to poor Eddie and Bonnie, who tells the story of how their strange and poisonous destinies intersect. And although there is no richer stew of perversity, voyeurism, corruption, religious extremism and curdled celebrity in all of English literature, there is also an underlying compassion and jet-black humour which makes Pompey an important and strangely satisfying work of art. Prepare to enter the English novels darkest ride...

Meades makes everything sound so delicious that the non-cook will be moved to cook and the bad cook will cook better David Hare, The Guardian.The Plagiarist in the Kitchen is an anti-cookbook. Best known as a provocative novelist, journalist and film-maker, Jonathan Meades has also been called the best amateur chef in the world by Marco Pierre White. His contention here is that anyone who claims to have invented a dish is delusional, dishonestly contributing to the myth of culinary originality.Meades delivers a polemical but highly usable collection of 125 of his favourite recipes, each one an example of the fine art of culinary plagiarism. These are dishes and methods he has hijacked, adapted, improved upon and made his own. Without assuming any special knowledge or skill, the book is full of excellent advice. He tells us why the British never got the hang of garlic. That a purist would never dream of putting cheese in a Gratin Dauphinois. That cooking brains in brown butter cannot be improved upon. And why despite the advice of Martin Scorseses mother he insists on frying his meatballs.In a world dominated by health fads, food vloggers and over-priced kitchen gadgets, The Plagiarist in the Kitchen is timely reminder that, when it comes to food, its almost always better to borrow than to invent.

A child is born with an insatiable hunger. As a ravenous infant she is the undoing of her mother; under her fathers adoring gaze, her body grows and grows. Her father claims she devoured her twin sister in the womb. Her classmates delight in tormenting her for her size. And inside this girl, so alone and so enraged, another hunger is born-for revenge.Bizarrely poetic and grotesquely humorous, All Flesh is a twisted fairy tale that tears apart hypocrisies around beauty, gender and a culture that relentlessly consumes the marginalized.

The Great Wasting is an investigative tale, that follows a slender thread back to the early 1900s in the West Sierran foothills, USA, where a story is unearthed that some may take as a parable, regarding a medical intervention that was recently rushed onto the market.Many will applaud the parody, but undoubtedly many more will feel somewhat affronted. Then when you consider a sprinkling of theys and wokes has been stirred in, plus the fact many treated the safe and effective narrative as a quasi-religion, there could be cause for great seething, with the most outraged having lost sight of the fact---- its only a story.The second short tale, I give myself to you, is a quest for survival set in Mid-Europe, 39,000 BC, that throws fresh light on why our Neanderthal cousins became extinct.The third tale, A mathematical incentive, set in the late 1950s England, manages to be both naive and suggestive, telling what befalls a young innocent as he passes into the confusing world of adolescence.
