'Sometimes I feel that I am destined always to be offstage whenever
the main action occurs. That God has made me the victim of some
cosmic practical joke, by assigning me little more than a walk-on
part in my own life . . .' Coming of age in 1970s' Birmingham,
teenager Benjamin Trotter is about to discover the agonies and
ecstasies of growing up. Whether it is first love or last rites,
IRA bombs or industrial strife, prog versus punk rock, expectations
of bad poetry or an unexpected life-changing experience involving
lost swimming trunks, The Rotters' Club is a heartfelt and
hilarious portrait of a particular time and place featuring
characters recognisable the world over . . . 'Very funny, a
compulsive and gripping read' The Times 'Hugely entertaining' The
Observer 'A book to cherish, a book to reread, a book to buy for
all your friends' Independent on Sunday
