Product Description
Go was hailed on publication in 1998 as a Brit-lit classic, and published in six languages. Now it is available as a download.
'Lewis blends the pace and disposable wit of Elmore Leonard with Alan Bennettish realism in a satisfyingly round plot . . . highly accomplished and enjoyable.'
The Times
'Go drags you halfway around the world and expects you to keep up but you are happy to do it.'
Observer
‘Confident, sharp as a tack, fast paced and blackly funny from beginning to end.’
Big Issue
'There are few contemporary British writers that are both funny and breathtakingly brilliant, but Simon Lewis is one of them. This is a book you really must experience for yourself. Alone. And soon.'
Billy Liar Magazine
'Read of the week . . . An entertaining read from a promising young writer who puts an often amusing spin on subject matter it's all too easy to be cynical about.'
The Big Issue in the north
'Global New Brit Classic in the making with a pulp Sction plot revolving around Brixton, Goa and Hong Kong. Lewis has captured the international back-pack set with wit, warmth and clarity. Well worth the trip.'
D+
'South London gunplay and backpacker slack, jet trash characters and gold-dust prose - Simon Lewis mixes it all up with style.'
Toby Litt, author
'The spirit of Philip Larkin shines on in Lewis' tetchy, wickedly playful prose.'
Interzone
'Lewis observes with razor-sharp wit the English doley on his six-hour Right to the East and his new life as a rich Westerner. A dark dissection of Goa-mania.'
City life Magazine
'Sharp, fast, funny.'
