WINNER OF THE EVERYMAN WODEHOUSE PRIZE
__________
Birmingham, England, c. 1973: industrial strikes, bad pop music, first love, corrosive class warfare, detention, IRA bombings.
Four friends: a class clown who stoops very low for a laugh; a confused artist enthralled by rock; an earnest radical with socialist leanings; and a quiet dreamer obsessed with poetry, God, and the prettiest girl in school.
Unforgettably funny and painfully honest, The Rotters’ Club is perfect for readers of Nick Hornby and William Boyd – or anyone who ever experience adolescence the hard way!
THE STORY CONTINUES IN THE CLOSED CIRCLE AND MIDDLE ENGLAND.
__________
