I generally really enjoy Geoff Nicholson's novels, but I didn't have the stomach for this one. By page 80 I had dealt with various excretions, abusive sex and cannibalism and couldn't take any more. Maybe when my resilience is higher I will be able to deal with this, but not at the moment. Otherwise, his normal wonderful style and I will try again with others. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Virgil Marcel is the golden boy of LA cuisine. He¿s got rock-star good looks and is the owner of Trimalchio¿s, the trendiest restaurant in a city of trendy restaurants. A magnet for the beautiful and the powerful, Trimalchio¿s is the hottest ticket in town. Out of the blue, Virgil receives an invitation to join London¿s secretive Everlasting Club, where a party has been going non-stop for some 350 years and whose membership has included the Marquis de Sade, American presidents and European royalty. It¿s unclear what fuels the club¿s Dionysian revelry, but they are ominously keen that Virgil join. When he declines, he is ¿kidnapped¿ and taken on a sensualist¿s tour of Britain. But is this just part of the initiation, or is he being prepared for a more primitive and sinister ritual? Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The book didn't disappoint but wasn't as funny as What We Did on Our Holidays. It would make an excellent spoof movie though as the plot if full of twists and turns, lots of sex, perverted and otherwise, violence and even snobbery and racism. I'd really really like to go out to dinner with the author, I'd bet he'd be fantastic company.
