The Deconstruction of Professor Thrub by Dd Johnston

The Deconstruction of Professor Thrub by Dd Johnston

Freewill, love, death, revolution - a student has the themes for his creative writing PhD. He pins them to Elsie Stewart and embarks on her biography. Love takes Elsie to the Spanish Civil War while the story hurtles off into the maelstrom of Ukrainian twentieth century history. Can Professor Thrub's post-structural guidance haul the project back on track? Will love and surgery redeem our student's struggles for a good life, significance and a doctorate? This biting comedy of love, desperation and existence offers a thrilling ride into the world of a major new writer.

"The Deconstruction of Professor Thrub is like a dopamine-enhanced Porterhouse Blue.. a determinedly extraordinary book" - The Morning Star

"An ambitious, erudite work with a profound interest in the world as we find it" - Christopher Burns, The Warwick Review

Scottish novelist D.D. Johnston writes books that are “Funny as all Hell” (The Sunday Herald), and “determinedly extraordinary” (The Morning Star). His novels are characterised by their ambition, variety, and invention. The consistent theme throughout Johnston’s writing is his love for ordinary people, and his faith in the extraordinary things we can achieve together. He is senior lecturer in creative writing at the University of Gloucestershire.
