Tomas

by JamesPalumbo (Author)

Synopsis

Reader, beware this book. It's short and small. It fits into your pocket and you can read it at leisure in any public place or alone at night. It looks like so many other books. You may think that, if the author's any good, the story will help you escape the world around you; you can drift into another place, better or worse, according to your mood. This is precisely the danger. Do not trust appearances; below these black printed words, spread page over page, lies a vision of the world that'll alarm the majority, revolt the sensitive and obliterate the prudish.

Media Reviews
'Absoutely amazing...it's the most energetic, surreal and extraordinary novel I have read for a very long time...it's really remarkable.' STEPHEN FRY 'In Tomas Rabelais meets Tom Wolfe. Palumbo's surrealist satire of the Age of Eurotrash is as grotesque ass it is gripping.'NIALL FERGUSON' 'The noises I made whilst reading this book frightened people on the train' NOEL FIELDING 'Either mad or genius or both' RORY BREMNER 'Bizarre, intriguing, funny and superbly written...more please!- JAMES HERBERT 'Palumbo's a skilled, often funny writer and his skewering of mindless excess is sometimes spot on' - The London Paper 23.06.09 'A debut novel that explodes at full blast...a savage satire of the highest calibre.'- Robert Bound, Monocle July issue
