SUGAR STREET - JONATHAN DEE KARTONIERT (TB)

'An original and fascinating concept that'll keep you hooked and turning the pages' Sunday
Post'Expertly done' The Times'[A] compelling  original novel' IndependentIn Jonathan Dee's
explosive novel  an unnamed male narrator has hit the road with a large sum of cash stashed
under his car seat. Vigilantly avoiding security cameras  he drives until he meets a city where
his past is unlikely to track him down. Renting a room from a less-than-stable landlady whose
need for money outweighs her desire to ask questions  he seems to have escaped his former self.
But can he?In a story that moves with swift dark humour and insight  Dee takes us through his
narrator's attempt to disavow his former life of privilege and enter a blameless new existence.
Having opted out of his material possessions and human connections  the pillars of his new self
- simplicity  kindness  and above all invisibility - grow shakier as he butts up against the
daily lives of his neighbours in their politically divided working-class city. Sugar Street is
a risky  engrossing and visceral story about a white man trying to escape his own troubling
footprint and start his life over.
