Stretch, 29 by Damian Lanigan

An outstanding debut novel an original and engaging black comedy about an angst-ridden twenty-something Londoner whose main achievement in life seems to be that he can prove that hes a loser.

‘Brilliantly funnyA dazzling performance. This is a book of great poise, teeming with invention, wicked humour and unforced insights.’ OBSERVER

‘Heartbreakingly funny. Debuts don’t get much better than this.’ DAILY MIRROR

‘Lit by some truly fine writing and observation. Lanigan’s account of a family sliding into misery has moments of Dickensian greatness.’ INDEPENDENT

‘Lanigan’s writing is dense with witty metaphors. The book also sends up London life a treat. But the book’s warmth and honesty ensure that it is more than simply satire… one not only laughs but sympathises.’ DAILY TELEGRAPH

Damian Lanigan was born in Coventry, brought up in Manchester and educated at Oxford. He worked in London for several years, but currently lives in New York, where he is working on a new novel, The Chancers.
