From the Academy Award-winning co-writer of Birdman, a wonderfully eccentric, suspenseful debut in the tradition of Misery and Kiss of the Spiderwoman about a screenwriter kidnapped by a world-famous director who orders him to compose a masterpiece.
A contemporary debut novel full of warmth, comedy, character and anarchic radicalism. Peterdown is an epic tale about community - our streets and houses, pubs and football clubs, art and architecture. What happens when what's 'ours' becomes 'theirs' - and how we can preserve the things we value and be hopeful in the face of history.
Robby creates his own comic strips so he can freak out his friends and family. His favourite character is Dr Maniac, a villain with a wicked grin and evil superpowers. And now Dr Maniac is on the loose ... in the real world!
