The Boys: a novel, with Leo Robson
Description
London, 2012. Johnny Voghel is stuck. He has a dead-end job at a small university and a wilting relationship and is grieving the death of his parents. When his half-brother Lawrence returns to the old family home from Chicago after a period of estrangement, Johnny decides to do everything he can to win back his affection. It’s a quest he pursues with the help of Lawrence’s childhood sweetheart and a pair of mysterious and seductive students adrift in the city during the height of Olympics fever.
A generational saga that takes place over a fortnight, and a comedy about confusion and loss, The Boys follows Johnny as he revisits old grievances, cultivates new friendships – and tries to take control of his fate.
Leo meets Jack at Jincheng Alley on New Oxford Street.
