S.O.S. by Joseph Connolly
The funniest and cleverest novel to date, from the most revered comic writer of his generation, Joseph Connolly. Amidst the seething melting pot of 1,600 passengers on the Atlantic cruise ship Transylvania are David and Nicole. Nicole and her two teenage children, Rollo and Marianne, are keen - but not David, or his mistress, Trish. Also on board are Jennifer and her daughter, Stacy. Jennifer would like to fall for Earl, the young son of American couple Dwight and Charlene. By the time the Transylvania docks in New York, the lives of all have been jarred, bruised and sexed-up, knocked-out or just plain shredded - and what seemed to be a set of inviolate futures now lies in utter disarray on the watery decks of this singular, castaway, floating city.
'The repetitions and ruminations of a multitude of inner voices, the comic set-pieces and the horrified, hyperreal prose are as spot on as ever' Justine Jordan, Guardian
Joseph Connolly has written six other novels: Poor Souls, This is It, Stuff. Summer Things, Winter Breaks and It Can't Go On. He lives in North London.
