An instant bookseller favourite, The Shame of John Slade is a darkly comic story, perfect for fans of About a Boy by Nick Hornby, Money by Martin Amis, and My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh.
A directionless man
John Slade still dreams of fame and fortune.
The reality is that John is in his forties, working as a postman, and his covers band hasn't played a gig in months.
A useless father
John Slade used to have a family.
Busy being lazy and behaving recklessly, John hardly even knows his daughter anymore. But he's about to find out that she's moving halfway around the world.
A last chance
With only a month left to form a bond with Ella before she leaves, John has a final opportunity to prove that he is capable of being a responsible adult. Which might be a problem . . .
Packed with laugh-out-loud moments and existential angst, this is Withnail & I for the 21st Century.
