Jason Dean is a debt collector and gangster's enforcer who loves Shostakovich, poetry and his little girl. He awakes at the break of a harsh day next to a wife who hates his guts. Ian Ayris - whose- debut novel Abide With Me was one of my favourites of 2012- follows Jason's Sisyphean trudge through the course of that single day and gives us a powerful novella that is tense, harrowing, violent, funny and very moving. Exceptional!
