'One of our finest writers' Michael Moorcock 'Alan Warner is one of
our best living writers' Jenni Fagan It's the late 70s: the country
is on the cusp of the arrival of Margaret Thatcher as Prime
Minister, and Marko Morrell, guitarist in Fear Taker, is one of the
biggest rock stars on the planet. His 'demanding' lifestyle means
he is frequently in absentia at Kitchenly Mill Race, his idyllic
country retreat; and so it is his butler (or 'help'), Crofton Park,
who is charged with the maintenance and housekeeping of the
rambling Tudorbethan gaff. When, one day, two young girls arrive
looking for Marko clutching their copies of Fear Taker LPs, Crofton
finds himself on a romantic misadventure involving a soiled carpet,
a bed of roses, a classic car and a fine pair of stockings. All of
which leads to the tragi-comic unravelling of the fantasies he has
been living by. A novel about delusional male behaviour, opening
and closing curtains, (a lack of) self-awareness, loneliness and
'getting it together in the country', Kitchenly 434 is a
magnificent novel about the Golden Age of Rock in the bucolic
English countryside.
