FROM THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE SHORTLISTED AUTHOR OF THE MARS ROOM
SHORTLISTED FOR THE FOLIO PRIZE 2014 LONGLISTED FOR THE BAILEYS
WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION Reno mounts her motorcycle and sets a
collision course for New York. In 1977 the city is alive with art,
sensuality and danger. She falls in with a bohemian clique
colonising downtown and the lines between reality and performance
begin to bleed. A passionate affair with the scion of an Italian
tyre empire carries Reno to Milan, where she is swept along by the
radical left and drawn into a spiral of violence and betrayal. The
Flamethrowers is an audacious novel that explores the perplexing
allure of femininity, fakery and fear. In Reno we encounter a
heroine like no other. Best Books of the Year: * Guardian * New
York Times * The Times * Observer * Financial Times * New Yorker *
Telegraph * Slate * Oprah * Vogue * Time * Scotsman * Evening
Standard * Shortlisted for the National Book Awards 2013
