Lucky Baby Jesus
Celebrated media darling and much-feted gay icon, Sean Cunningham is the wealthy and wildly successful editor of infamous style magazine, SOMDOMITE. Rarely out of the public eye himself -- he`s a past master when it comes to spin and the art of the sound-bite, not to mention his keep-them-guessing private life and penchant for controversy -- he seems to have achieved everything he could have wished for... and he`s not yet thirty. But when he meets and falls for TV producer Catherine, his future suddenly seems rather less certain. His big problem, though, is not those aspects of his life that he`d always assumed would be his by right, but the one thing that everyone else has taken for granted. His sexuality. Specifically, he finds himself faced with the ultimate can he come out of the closet and admit he`s heterosexual without losing face, fans, or fame? Not to mention his job... Or the love of his life? `Focused, literate, intelligent, nicely observed, humane, funny` SUNDAY TIMES

About the author
Peter Bradshaw
26 books6 followersPeter Bradshaw is a British writer and film critic. He was a pupil at the independent Haberdashers' Aske's school in Hertfordshire,[1] and studied Modern Languages at Cambridge University, where he was president of Footlights.
Bradshaw is the film critic for The Guardian. Before joining The Guardian, Bradshaw was employed by the Evening Standard for whom he wrote a series of parodic diary entries purporting to written by the Conservative MP and historian Alan Clark which he thought deceptive and were the subject of a court case resolved in January 1998. The court found in Clark's favour, granting an injunction, deciding that Bradshaw's articles were then being published in a form that "a substantial number of readers" would believe they were genuinely being written by Alan Clark.[2] Bradshaw found it "the most bizarre and surreal business of my professional life. I'm very flattered that Mr Clark should go to all this trouble and expense in suing me like this."[3]
Peter Bradshaw has written a novel, Dr Sweet and his Daughter, published in 2004. He also wrote and performed a BBC radio programme titled For One Horrible Moment, recorded 10 October 1998 and first broadcast 20 January 1999. The programme chronicled a young man's coming of age in 1970s Cambridgeshire. He also co-wrote and acted in David Baddiel's sitcom Baddiel's Syndrome.

Comfortably one of the worst books I have ever read. There is nothing to “get” here. It’s simply embarrassingly terrible.
