Death of a Ladies' Man by Alan Bissett
By day, Charlie Bain is the school's most inspiring teacher. By night he prowls the stylish bars of Glasgow seducing women. Fuelled by art, drugs and fantasies of being an indie star, Charlie journeys further into hedonism, unable to see the destruction his desires are leading everyone towards...One of Scotland's dazzling young writing talents tackles the modern phenomenon of sex addiction. Dark, funny and deliciously erotic, DEATH OF A LADIES' MAN is an intense portrait of male vanity, written with verve and emotional rawness.
'Bissett's third novel is delivered with invention and flair' -- Esquire 'Hilarious, disturbing and hugely entertaining.. Bain is a remarkable creation' -- Big Issue 'Bissett proves himself to be a fresh, compelling and distinctly Scottish literary talent' -- Scotland on Sunday 'A high-speed, coke-fuelled rollercoaster ride through bars, classrooms and bedrooms' -- Scotsman 'This is a novel of real ambition and complexity, at its heart a delicious tension between the desire to be good and darker urges in a world of ever fewer boundaries' -- Gutter magazine
