  When the young Ian Wharton first meets Mr Broadhurst, he is completely unaware of the influence he will come to exert over his life as ' The Fat Controller' - a constant companion and confidant and also the obese, erudite manifestation of Ian' s mental illness. As Ian' s idea of fun becomes increasingly extreme, the reader is taken to a place where morality is eroded by the dull grind of modernity and everything becomes admissable.

  An offbeat novel from an exponent of dirty magical realism. When Mr Broadhurst got his psychic teeth into Ian Wharton - aged 11 - he just wouldn't let go. The result is that now Ian's idea of fun isn't quite the sort of thing to be expected of a 30-something marketing consultant in London.
