The Crypto-Amnesia Club by Michael Bracewell
At the heart of fashionable London is the Crypto-Amnesia Club - epic theatre of the style wars, where life brushes against the contours of a haircut and labels vie for seasonal supremacy. This mausoleum of self-consciousness is reluctantly managed by Merril, a lost soul who loathes the guests it is his job to please. Terrorized by manners, mannequins and mange-touts, Merril searches through the emotional debris of designer London for a reason why he never bothered to fall in love.

Blitz ?Slips a razor-sharp knife into the ribs of London?s Groucho gouchos and is as quick witted yet poetic a first novel as ou are likely to read this year...in five years time when the Booker Prize winner is announced you?ll be able to say, ?Ah, yes, but did you read Michael Bracewell?s first book? Over 21 ?A shocked, stone-faced humour which reminded me of David Byrne? Evening Standard
