Description

Raymond Gunt is a man who embodies his own self-description: a foul-mouthed, misanthropic individual with no redeeming social value. This darkly comedic novel follows Gunt's downward spiral of failure as he navigates from London to Los Angeles and eventually finds himself on an obscure island in the Pacific. Gunt's life is marked by multiple comas, unjust imprisonment, and a series of unfortunate events that culminate in him being forced to re-enact the 'Angry Dance' from Billy Elliot. Alongside his upwardly failing sidekick Neal and ex-wife Fiona, Gunt careens through a world that seems determined to reject him. Despite his questionable character, Gunt is an oddly likeable figure, making this novel a deeply unsettling and humorous exploration of human nature.
