Never Never

by David Gaffney (Author)

Synopsis

This darkly humorous debut novel from an acclaimed short-story writer delves deeply into today's debt culture. Eric works as a debt counsellor in Cumbria. It's ironic, then, that he is deeply in the red. Adding to the complications of his life are his affair with Julie and the strange, cryptic postcards he's been receiving.

Media Reviews
This clever novel couldn't be more timely ... Forces us to confront society's incredible thirst for credit * Observer *
Cometh the hour, cometh the novelist - it would be hard to imagine a book that scored a more penetrating bull's-eye on the target of the moment * Independent *
Addresses the current issue of bad credit: an amusing black comedy in how not to manage finances-or relationships * FT *
One hundred and fifty words by Gaffney are more worthwhile than novels by a good many others * Guardian *
