Freewill, love, death, revolution - a student has the themes for his creative writing PhD. He pins them to Elsie Stewart and embarks on her biography. Love takes Elsie to the Spanish Civil War while the story hurtles off into the maelstrom of Ukrainian twentieth century history. Can Professor Thrub's post-structural guidance haul the project back on track? Will love and surgery redeem our student's struggles for a good life, significance and a doctorate? This biting comedy of love, desperation and existence offers a thrilling ride into the world of a major new writer. Praise for earlier D.D.Johnston: The Sunday Herald: 'Funny as all hell. And it's got morally ambiguous people in it.' The Morning Star: 'A very urgent relevance now and for the immediate future.'

About this product

Product Information

This is a love story, a quest, a historical novel that takes in the Spanish Civil war and then dives deep into the turbulence of 20th century Ukraine, and even a campus comedy. The Morning Star called it 'determinedly extraordinary' and named it one of the Radical Books of The Year, and it was longlisted for the Goldsmiths Prize. Follow the journeys of a love-lorn PhD student, who chases the biography of a feminist hero despite the withering contempt of his professor. AUTHOR: Mike DD Johnston leads the Barbican Academy. With over ten years' experience as a Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing at the University of Gloucestershire.
