In the early 80s, after a decade of drug abuse and borderline
mental illness, John Burnside resolved to escape his addictive
personality and find calm in a 'Surbiton of the mind'. But the
suburbs are not quite as normal as he had imagined and, as he
relapses into chaos, he encounters a homicidal office worker who is
obsessed with Alfred Hitchcock and Petula Clark, an old lover, with
whom he reprises a troubled, masochistic relationship and, finally,
the seemingly flesh-and-blood embodiemnts of all his private
phantoms. The sequel to his haunting, celebrated account of a
troubled childhood, Waking Up in Toytown is unsettling, touching,
oddly romantic and unflinchingly honest.
