The Manchester Trilogy : Book 1, Paperback / softback Book

The Manchester Trilogy : Book 1 Paperback / softback

Part of the Manchester Trilogy series

Paperback / softback

Description

A young warehouseman, his promising football career cut short by injury, counts flanges, valves and couplings for a living.

He longs for the warmth and women of the office, but the prostitutes who hang around the high-rise are easier to deal with.

Drink provides relief, if not escape, and probably the last thing he should dream of becoming is a writer, but then he buys himself a note pad and pen. This debut novel by Neil Campbell, author of the short story collections Broken Doll and Pictures From Hopper, is a moving and darkly comic meditation on the challenge of trying to realise dreams in a harsh and unfair world.
