To diet or to die; that is the question. Gill and Brolly live
happily together off South London's Walworth Road. She works in a
local hardware store; he runs his own online business. They share a
content, happy existence, unremarkable except for one thing; their
excessive food intake. Unable to take public transport or walk more
than a few metres, they rely on mobility scooters and their friend
Rob, a taxi driver with an unusual fetish, to help them live the
life they want: an orgy of takeaways, fast food and non-stop
snacking. After witnessing their best friend, the morbidly obese
Tiny Tim, eat himself to death, Brolly decides he and Gill should
lose weight before suffering the same fate - but Gill refuses.
After some soul-searching, he starts dieting alone and in secret
and sets off a series of unpredictable events that will change both
of their lives forever. This debut novel from agent provocateur and
cult-film director Simon Rumley veers from the humorous to the
bathetic, from the grotesque to the bizarre, from the outrageous to
the intimate. Invoking the spirits of Martin Amis and Stephen King,
The Wobble Club is a unique, thought-provoking and unforgettable
debut which investigates society's final taboo: whether people
should be allowed to do what they want with their bodies.
