Trout

by Colin Bacon

Sex and drugs and rock & roll, aimless youth, alternative life-styles, pop festivals, new religions and ancient rituals - all receive a blisteringly funny treatment in this savage account of two young hippies and their epic friendship with the mysterious Gordinski. Rolling round the West of England in search of girls, dope and rustic simplicity, Niall's and Malcolm's friendship is stretched to its limit as Gordinski's vision of the future draws all thre into a mealstrom of disastrous events, culminating in a explosive denoument at a New Age retreat. Crisply written and gutlaugh funny, Colin Bacon's debut novel introduces a new writer of rare Tom Sharpe meets Leonard Cohen!
