Description

"Simply an epiphany."--Kirkus, starred review Simon Austen has the names people have called him tattooed all over his body.

Waste of Space. Bastard. A Threat to Women. Murderer. Facing a lifetime behind bars and subjected to new therapies for sexual reprogramming, Simon finds himself plunged into a terrifying process of self-reconstruction. But how much, in the end, can a man really change? Darkly compelling and deeply moving, Alphabet is a psychological exploration of one man's uncertain and often-harrowing journey towards rehabilitation. "Intense, revealing, challenging and above all riveting ...I kept saying to myself, how could she know this?"--Erwin James, convicted murderer, author of A Life Inside: A Prisoner's Notebook "Sometimes novelists go too far--and sometimes they manage to demonstrate that too far is the place they needed to go."--Time Out UK Praise for Kathy Page "Her unforgettable prose is moody, shape-shifting, provocative and always as compelling as a strong light at the end of a road you hesitate to walk down...but will."-- Amy Bloom, author of Where the God of Love Hangs Out "Marvellously well-crafted ...I can't remember the last time I was so compelled, impressed and unsettled by the emotional world of a novel. "-- Sarah Waters, author of Tipping the Velvet
