One of the few British writers comfortable on a world stage

An exciting writer, sharp and shocking as the knives her characters wield

Like her namesake Jack Kerouac, J.K. is always on the road, travelling Europe with her typewriter in a pillowcase. From J.K.'s irreverent, ironic perspective, Levy charts a new, dizzying, end-of-the-century world of shifting boundaries and displaced peoples.

A stunning early novel by the twice Booker-shortlisted author of Hot Milk and Swimming Home, Deborah Levy.
