Description
When 'dream husband' Xan Meo is assaulted in the garden of a London pub, he suffers a head injury and undergoes a profound personality change. His moral system is inverted, reflecting the alien world of those around him.
The lives of various individuals become intertwined: Clint Smoker, a 'yellow' journalist; Joseph Andrews, a hardman; Cora Susan, a porno tycoon; and Royce Traynor, a corpse determined to bring down his plane. Meanwhile, Henry England's life is complicated by his incapacitated wife, Pamela, Chinese mistress He Zizhen, and 15-year-old daughter Victoria.
A darkly comedic exploration of the human condition, Yellow Dog is a satire that critiques modern society with biting humour.
