Synopsis

The greedy, gruesome 1980s may just have finished, but everyone?s still looking for an angle, dreaming of making a killing. Young Gaz dreams of being a proper crook with cool clothes. Colin Nutter wishes he could stop drinking and fathom the money making brilliance of his smooth talking boss, Dorian Savage. Dorian just wants more money, more and more of it, he also wishes Gaz would stop hanging round his detached country house, claiming the two of them were related... Savage Life is a novel of fast lives and fast food; booze and mad cow?s disease; luxury yachts and Harvester Inns; hit men and urban dread. The pace is breakneck, the plot complex, and the hilarity is dark and savage.

Media Reviews
?A fabulously funny and disturbing tour around the suburbs, leisure centres, motorway caf?s and mock-Victorian pubs of our unlovely post-Thatcherite Britain? Jonathan Coe ?James Rogers has written a vivid comedy of recognition which is two parts Dennis Potter to one part Ealing Comedy. He has an ear and an eye for low-life and strife, and Savage Life is a highly entertaining novel? Michael Bracewell ?This is farce and satire, all deliciously written and cleverly knotted together...Rogers has an ear for the dialogue of the street and an understanding of the achingly meagre purview of the kids who deface public property and destroy our possessions? Spectator
