The Fat Controller
'' - a constant companion and confidant and also the obese, erudite manifestation of Ian

Trade Review‘This is a brilliant first novel, obscene, funny, opulently written, and, of course, agonisingly moral' * Observer *
‘No one else I can think of writes about contemporary Britain with such elan, energy and witty intelligence. Rejoice' * Nicholas Lezard, Guardian *
‘Written with diabolical gusto and skill' * Evening Standard *
‘Vastly entertaining' * The Times *
