Read Regional 2019 - 'Discover brilliant Northern writers' Aidan
Wilson's misfortune is to be hard as nails In this darkly hilarious
and seriously horrifying book Williams tells the story of Aidan, a
vigilante and young offender from one of Sheffield's roughest
estates. At breakneck speed, we see Aidan's world unravel as he
goes from hero to outlaw, fighting against all-comers and the
circumstances he can't escape. But is he a victim or architect of
his own demise? A brutal and breathtaking account of living with
violence in the English city. There are lots of crime novels, but
Nutcase is something different: a novel about crime which isn't
interested in the conventions of crime fiction. The novel is based
on a specific Icelandic saga: the Saga of Grettir the Strong.
Nutcase explores the lives of people who live with violence on a
day-to-day basis - how it shapes and distorts their lives, and
ultimately becomes part of the normality that they live with.
