Eating Air

A dancer, a revolutionary, a banker and an Islamic terrorist are fatally linked in this cautionary tale for our times. Narrated by the irreverent, night-club pianist Baron S. and moving between the seventies and the present day, between London, Italy, Holland and Surinam, Eating Air marshals a brilliant cast of characters to tell an explosive story of greed, passion and dangerous ideals. A fiendishly clever novel … Brilliantly funny and sharp.' Kate Saunders, Times Shocking and original … One of the few novels about terrorism that may transcend their time.' New Statesman The language [is] pregnant with wit … a virtuoso performance.' Stevie Davies, The Independent Compelling.' Lavinia Greenlaw, Financial Times [Has] a wild energy that demands attention.'
