Random Oxidation by Malcolm Gluck


When everything has a price, what happens when nothing has value?

Set against the financial collapse of 2008, Random Oxidation follows a wealthy entrepreneur and collector whose life, like his finest wines, proves more fragile than it appears. On the surface, his world is one of privilege: he has an uncanny knack for making money, his investments seem unassailable – and his cellar alone is worth a small fortune. But as markets crash and doubts creep in, he is forced to confront a disquieting truth: value – whether monetary, emotional, or sensory – may be nothing more than belief. 

Random Oxidation is a tense, elegant novel about trust, illusion, and the price of certainty.

Malcolm Gluck is the author of some 47 books on wine. For sixteen years he wrote the Guardian newspaper’s weekly Superplonk column. He also presented the BBC-2 TV programme Gluck Gluck Gluck. But tasting 14,000 bottles of wine a year became a chore and so he decided to concentrate on his first love: fiction. His appetite for words, people, and life, is undiminished. The Glassfull Press is the result. Twenty novels, fifty short stories, and two collections of novellas are in the pipeline.
