'a superb tragicomic satire on our soap-opera-saturated culture'
Sam Mills, author of The Quiddity of Will Self
'a neat idea... a plot full of death and disaster'
The Metro
Daniel creates soap operas in his head - a game that he plays on his paper-round. Rather than a phase, this is just the beginning of a fantasy that becomes more and more elaborate as the people around Daniel become his unwitting co-stars.
Daniel begins to realise that, in life, you cannot write all of the scripts, there is no-one there to shout cut or hit rewind and, inevitably, all manipulations have their repercussions.
