Inhaltsangabe
Anytown, England. Jeremy Shepherd has reached post-ambition, giving up the trappings of his London life (flash job, flash cars, even flashier girlfriends) to move back to his home town and his parents' house. By day, he is a low-level civil servant, chained to his desk and content to idle away the hours filing and answering emails. There isn't a lot to do in a small town, but the English are very resourceful and Jeremy quickly finds a hobby that delivers lots of fresh air and exercise. By night, he prowls local car parks to indulge in altogether more challenging pursuits - anonymous sex with strangers. This is no ordinary hobby - each encounter is tinged with a definite air of danger, as police stake out each site and the cloak of anonymity brings its own risks.
As the scene's night-time liaisons increasingly threaten the sensibilities of the local Daily Mail readers, things take a turn for the worse. Locals take a dislike to the illicit rendezvous and as the police step up surveillance, private pursuits risk becoming very public.

Softcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Risse; Gebogener Buchrücken; Farbveränderung durch Alter/Sonne. A cool, dark, sexy nightdrive of a novel. . . . A new J.G. Ballard. - Toby Litt Jeremy Shepherd has relinquished his London life and moved back home. By day, he has a boring desk job, but Jeremy soon finds a way to break the monotony through illicit sex with strangers in public places. As the police close in, tensions rise. "Jeremy 'The Shep' Shepherd is on a night out in the Midlands. Clean teeth and hair. Black suit, white shirt. In a bag, he has kitchen paper, a banana for energy, some condoms and a tube of KY jelly. He's off to a corner of a supermarket carpark where he won't be caught on CCTV. The Shep is into dogging. yuck, you'd think. But Davies manages to make you see things through The Shep's eyes. As Alex in A Clockwork Orange sought meaning in violence, The Shep seeks it in public sex where people can achieve a state of "hushed, scholarly, reverent concentration". There is 'purity'. There is 'democracy'." - William Leith, The Guardian, Saturday 16 May 2009. Artikel-Nr. 79dcf07a-e495-407e-b967-319ffbb24300
