"Kevin was acting weird, he picked up one of the kitchen knives, sometimes he jabbed it, as if making a debating point, the conversation continued, about music now, I did not like the way Kevin sometimes pointed the knife at me, he seemed strangely angry and aggressive..." In old age L looked back fondly on the time he went down the rabbit-hole, where he met Irish Jack, Honey and Milena. And then there was Kevin - not forgetting Malcolm Lowry and his manuscripts and his first wife, Jan Gabrial. What Vronsky Did Next - a novel about books, lovers, drink and drugs. And Kevin.

A man spends a night at a B & B. Waking in the middle of the night, he recalls the trials and tribulations of an English adolescence and early manhood. This exquisite, tenderly observed and delightful Bildungsroman belongs to a genre which includes Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship, Sons and Lovers, The Catcher in the Rye, and Goodbye, Columbus - classic writing to which it very evidently owes nothing at all. Wildly inventive, stunning, brilliantly observed, stellar, inspiring, magical and groundbreaking, raw and emotional, urgent and of great importance, unique and chilling, inspirational, beautiful, superb, page-turning, brilliantly funny, a classic in the making, exquisite - just a few of the descriptions of new novels borrowed from the world of corporate publishing which plainly do not apply to Full English. Enjoy.

This novella dramatises several days in the wintry, mist-shrouded city of Venice as Alice Short seeks out and photographs locations used for the 1973 film Don't Look Now. But Alice is not alone - or is she? Who is the Frenchman, Alain, and what exactly is his business in this city? As the couple's conversations grow more and more intense, Alice moves ever closer to that moment when everything will come to an end. From the author of the dazzling collection Aria Fritta, this strange work is as complex as a reconstructed mosaic, yet as simple as the 72 photographs which accompany the text.
