A novel that charts the lives of a collection of misfits spread across Arizona and South London, all of them on the run, mainly from themselves . . .
We meet a man who believes he was most recently an astronaut; Sid and Danny, a couple of friends down on their luck, whose Dire Straits covers band isn't exactly filling the pubs of Balham; Peter Rugg who lost a cigarette butt down the back of a sofa twenty years ago and has been looking for it ever since; and Tracey, who, back in her porn-star days, had sex with a pig while dressed as a nun, and has been finding it tough to cement relationships with men ever since.
In Stewart Lee's hands these disparate stories slowly drift towards each other until they collide head-on in the hot Arizona desert.
