Format:Paperback
This is a standalone short story by Nick Hornby written for the Open Door Series.
A woman comes home from work one day to find out that her son is the star of a pornographic film. The resulting story is beautifully told from her point of view, how she feels, how it turns her suburban world upside down and the repercussions for the family, in particular herself.
This is clever, laugh out loud funny, poignant and heartbreaking all at once. For a ten minute read you can't get much better than that.

I picked this novella up in a pile of remaindered boks in Galway. What a shame i had never come across it before a great short story hitting all the buttons. Good plot, great premise , good characters , all told with Nick Hornbys usual passion , sensitivity and feeling for people. I may go back buy a few more as presents. If you like Hornby buy this.
