description: Jim is long-term unemployed but discovers a talent for brewing beer. He opens an illegal brewery with Hondo, an ex-salesman searching for enlightenment. Jim's wife June obsessively wants a baby with him but habitually has sex with strangers. Her only friend is Dawn, who thinks her arms and legs are other people. A shocking and sometimes brutal story about people living in a world that threatens to trap them forever in the underclass, it is written with humour in new and original forms of language, sometimes poetic, sometimes harsh and always provocative. Narrated by the Ghost of Contentment Past, you will find consolation and inspiration through the trials of the characters in this controversial modern novel.
