No Fireworks by Rodge Glass
Abe Stone is a 61-year-old alcoholic with a Henry VIII fixation going through his third divorce. When he starts receiving letters from his dead mother, Evelyn, he is thrown into a late-stage identity crisis. His fourteen-year-old granddaughter, Lucille, is expelled from school and the unlikely couple embark on a quest to work out what Evelyn is trying to impart and how Abe can begin to put his dishevelled life in order. No Fireworks is a story about eight extraordinary days in the life of an ordinary man who can no longer put off answering the big questions: 'What do I believe in?' 'What will I leave behind when I die?' 'Why is my dead mother sending me letters from beyond the grave?'
Rodge Glass is originally from Cheshire but has lived in Scotland since 1997, where he graduated from Glasgow University with an MPhil in Creative Writing. He writes for The Herald and is a regular contributor to a number of other magazines. He is twenty-seven years old. This is his first novel.
