Welcome to Litsy!

South London, May 2010: foxes are behaving strangely, Burmese immigrants are going missing, and everyone is trying to get hold of a new party drug called Glow. A young man suffering from a rare sleep disorder will uncover the connections between all these anomalies in this taut, riveting new novel by a young writer hailed by The Guardian as �playful, arresting, unnerving, opulent, rude and�above all�deliciously, startlingly, exuberantly fresh.��Twenty-two-year-old Raf spends his days walking Rose, a bull terrier who guards the transmitters for a pirate radio station, and his nights at raves in warehouses and launderettes. When his friend Theo vanishes without a trace, Raf�s efforts to find him will lead straight into the heart of a global corporate conspiracy. Meanwhile, he�s falling in love with a beautiful young woman he met at one of those raves, but he�ll soon discover that there is far more to Cherish than meets the eye.�Combining the pace, drama, and explosive plot twists of a thriller with his trademark intellectual, linguistic, and comedic pyrotechnics, Glow is Ned Beauman�s most compelling, virtuosic, and compulsively readable novel yet.From the Hardcover edition.
