Behindlings

London, UK: Flamingo, 2002. Not applicable. See notes. 535pp. ISBN: 0007135254. Octavo. Signed and dated by the author. In «Behindlings», the inimitable Nicola Barker places her most compelling character to date in a cast of eccentrics in deepest Essex. Wesley, spurting with kinetic energy, nasty wit and kindness to animals, ought to be a star. Or so it seems to those who nip at his heels, turn up everywhere he goes, lie in wait for him around every corner. They are his followers - he calls them the behindlings. And they make quite an ensemble, gathering together their own scabby intentions, irritating habits and weird manners in the common pursuit of their prize. «Behindlings» is her most satisfying, most amusing, most striking novel yet. "Writing to make you wince, gasp and laugh out loud."

Behindlings

Flamingo, 2002. Paperback. ISBN: Fiction. Paperback in good condition. Amazon Behindlings, the fifth novel from Nicola Barker, is a welcome return, both in mood and in geography, to the gothic terrain of her Impac Prize winner W ide Open. Set in parochial Canvey Island, Essex, this book has more in comm on with the television comedy The League of Gentlemen and the cult film The Wicker Man than a work of contemporary literary fiction. It is inventive, funny, unnerving and often magnificently strange. Barker's Canvey (once dubbed "Candy Island" by Daniel Defoe) is, with its W impy Bar, dreary pubs and long-cherished grudges, rumours and secrets, a qu intessentially English small town. Its emotionally damaged population is au gmented by the "Behindlings" of the title, a gaggle of oddballs who follow, or more precisely obsessively stalk, the novel's enigmatic central charact er, Wesley. The architect of a chocolate company-funded treasure hunt, auth or of a pseudo-Nietzschean walking guide and the man behind the daring thef t of an antique pond, he is a rather malevolent Pied Piper. Part Alvin Toff ler-quoting, peripatetic environmental visionary, part immoral (and maybe d ownright evil) fraudster; he's also notorious for feeding the fingers on hi s right hand to an eagle owl "in an act of penance" for accidentally killin g his brother. Would-be-prizewinners and cranks are not the only ones drawn into his orbit. Josephine Bean, a local nurse and environmental campaigner; Katherine Turpin, a lascivious beansprout farmer maligned in his walking book; Arthur Young, a former employee of the treasure hunt's sponsors and Ted, the island's estate agent and closet seamstress, all seem.

Darkmans

Fourth Estate 2007 Paperback, 848pp. "From the award-winning author of 'Clear 'comes an epic novel of startling originality. If History is just a sick joke which keeps on repeating itself, then who exactly might be telling it, and why? Could it be John Scogin, Edward IV's infamous court jester, whose favourite pastime was to burn people alive - for a laugh? Or could it be Andrew Boarde, Henry VIII's physician, who kindly wrote John Scogin's biography? Or could it be a tiny Kurd called Gaffar whose days are blighted by an unspeakable terror of - uh - salad? Or a beautiful, bulimic harpy with ridiculously weak bones? Or a man who guards Beckley Woods with a Samurai sword and a pregnant terrier? 'Darkmans' is a very modern book, set in Ashford (a ridiculously modern town), about two very old-fashioned subjects: love and jealousy. It's also a book about invasion, obsession, displacement and possession, about comedy, art, prescription drugs and chiropody. And the main character? The past, which creeps up on the present and whispers something quite dark - quite unspeakable - into its ear. 'Darkmans' is the third of Nicola Barker's visionary narratives of the Thames Gateway. Following on from 'Wide Open' (winner Dublin IMPAC award 2000) and 'Behindlings' it confirms Nicola Barker as one of Britain's most original and exciting literary talents. Heavy - extra postage will apply", (ISBN: 9780007270170). Fair.
