"Gritty, poignant and brilliant reading, this is one of my books of the year." The Sun

"A hilarious road trip...you will laugh out loud." Edinburgh Times

What do you do when the American parent company fires you at the age of forty six? You get drunk, obviously. Then what? Well, in the case of international publishing supremo Jamie Gallagher, you take a long hard look at your life, and decide to...have another drink.

Then you wonder if the reason your wife despises you and your children don’t recognise you can be found in your past.

Which sets you off on a road to nowhere, down a long and winding road, with no paradise city in sight. And there aren’t that many reasons to be cheerful.

David Grant’s novel is a hilarious road trip through the haze of one man’s memory, as he attempts to grapple with his present by visiting his past, set to the music a generation will never forget.

David Grant is co-founder and joint MD of a British book publishing company. This is his first novel.
