A young warehouseman, his promising football career cut short by
injury, counts flanges, valves and couplings for a living. He longs
for the warmth and women of the office, but the prostitutes who
hang around the high-rise are easier to deal with. Drink provides
relief, if not escape, and probably the last thing he should dream
of becoming is a writer, but then he buys himself a note pad and
pen. This debut novel by Neil Campbell, author of the short story
collections Broken Doll and Pictures From Hopper, is a moving and
darkly comic meditation on the challenge of trying to realise
dreams in a harsh and unfair world.
