Bacchanal

Synopsis:
The story of Dominic Hardinge, a brilliant young playwright whose whole life has been distorted by a horrifying trauma in his childhood.

Its only – dubious – claim to fame is that in this book I was doing male rape and child abuse long before it came into fashion.

Author Comment:
Never write a novel with a really unattractive central character.

I loathed Dominic and I’m damn sure everyone else did too.

The end result was depressing beyond measure for all concerned.
