“A remarkable book. An insane, hallucinatory mosaic of sexual dysfunction, humour, pathos and narrative energy.”
– AL Kennedy
By day, Charlie Bain is the school’s most inspiring teacher. By night, he prowls the stylish bars of Glasgow, seducing women. Fuelled by art, drugs and fantasies of being an indie star, Charlie journeys further into hedonism, unable to see the destruction his desires are leading everyone towards.
‘He has pulled the sheets back on Lothario men and shown them lying there wriggling, pathetic, and bare-bummed…Bissett proves himself to be a fresh, compelling and distinctly Scottish literary talent’

“F***ed up, funny, and fantastic. ****”
