British Story: A Romance

What's haunting Kennedy? He believes that literary characters exist just like you or me, but he's getting nowhere trying to prove it. His Falstaff project is an embarrassment; Barbara's wanting a baby; there's that trouble from last autumn; he can't even tell a story. His fortunes change when he's befriended by Arthur Mountain, a larger-than-life Welshman with a peculiar take on history and a grand distaste for the modern world. Together with his trainspotting wife, snooty secretary, and trusty machete, Arthur opens Kennedy's soul. Philosophical, frightening and hilarious, British Story is an adventure in imagination and a rallying cry for wonder.
