FROM THE BOOKER PRIZE-WINING AUTHOR OF VERNON GOD LITTLE 'Pierre's high-risk prose explores and
expands the cartoonish taboo-busting outer edges of literary possibility.' -- Independent ***
It's a big bad world out there in Dopamine City. All Lonnie Cush wants is to keep his kids
safe. But Shelby-Ann - his little girl the maddening apple of his eye - has other ideas:
Shelby-Ann wants her first smartphone. So new realities are rocketing their way to 37 Palisade
Row where everything will change every day and at mortal speed. Until Lonnie finds himself
in a stitch: he'll have to join this new world or wither in it. Or can he mastermind a
vanishing act? The story of a hapless father's love and loss and a speedball starburst satire
Meanwhile in Dopamine City is a passionate freewheeling work from the winner of the Booker
Prize: a riotous cry for the soul and the flesh and the heart in the cooling bathwater of our
automatic times.
