An instant bookseller favourite, The Shame of John Slade is a darkly comic story, perfect for fans of About a Boy by Nick Hornby, Money by Martin Amis, and My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh. A directionless man John Slade still dreams of fame and fortune. The reality is that John is in his forties, working as a postman, and his covers band hasn't played a gig in months. A useless father John Slade used to have a family. Busy being lazy and behaving recklessly, John hardly even knows his daughter anymore. But he's about to find out that she's moving halfway around the world. A last chance With only a month left to form a bond with Ella before she leaves, John has a final opportunity to prove that he is capable of being a responsible adult. Which might be a problem . . . Packed with laugh-out-loud moments and existential angst, this is Withnail & I for the 21st Century.
