A tetralogy containing some of the finest usage of the English language in the Twentieth Century. No lover of literature should miss this wondrous reading experience.

What a small gem! Only 137 pages, but a rich and full journey into the mind of a closeted academic as he works his way through an infatuation with vacuous teen idol Ronny Bostock. Gilbert De'Ath's encounters with the modern world in the form of multiplex cinemas, teenage fanzines, video recorders, pulp cinema and Pakistani newsagents is both hilarious and touching. A vast improvement on the somewhat lacklustre screen treatment.

One of the great sadnesses of life is to see a work of true wonder be relatively unknown. This deserves to be read widely and if the author checks in to this site to see what is said about his work, I say...take heart. It is not how many you effect, but how deeply you effect those you reach. You are a truly talented man.
