Nutcase, Paperback / softback Book

Nutcase Paperback / softback

Part of the Salt Modern Fiction series

Paperback / softback

Description

Read Regional 2019 - 'Discover brilliant Northern writers'Aidan Wilson's misfortune is to be hard as nailsIn this darkly hilarious and seriously horrifying book Williams tells the story of Aidan, a vigilante and young offender from one of Sheffield's roughest estates.

At breakneck speed, we see Aidan's world unravel as he goes from hero to outlaw, fighting against all-comers and the circumstances he can't escape.

But is he a victim or architect of his own demise? A brutal and breathtaking account of living with violence in the English city. There are lots of crime novels, but Nutcase is something different: a novel about crime which isn't interested in the conventions of crime fiction.

The novel is based on a specific Icelandic saga: the Saga of Grettir the Strong. Nutcase explores the lives of people who live with violence on a day-to-day basis - how it shapes and distorts their lives, and ultimately becomes part of the normality that they live with.
