He gives tips on shopping and how to find the best produce in Shortcuts to Shopping . There are some old favourites in Comfort Grub , and in Quik Fixes he whips up really quick, tasty dinners perfect for those late nights back from work. Not since the Bombay of Midnight's Children have a time and place been so intensely and accurately captured in a novel.
Fury opens on a New York living at breakneck speed in an age of unprecedented decadence.
He becomes frustratingly estranged from his own creation. Horrified by the fury within him, he flees home and family and becomes a sort of spiritual mendicant - except that he has a credit card and a duplex on the Upper West Side. Solanka discovers that he has come to a city roiling with anger, where cab drivers spout invective and a serial killer is murdering women with a lump of concrete, a metropolis whose population is united by petty spats and bone-deep resentment. His own thoughts, emotions and desires, meanwhile, are also running wild. Thomas, Jack and Wayne are the best of mates.
