Bad News | Edward St Aubyn

Pickpick

A brilliant, heart wrenching novel. St Aubyn creates what should be an utterly unsympathetic character - a bitter, self-obsessed, drug obsessed junkie completely at odds with the world, yet the reader can't help but pity him. The prose is biting, black and draws you in. Really looking forward to watching this but at the same time I know it's going to be hard to watch in terms of emotional investment. #patrickmelrose

ReadingRuby This just reminded me I need to watch the first episode of this, thanks! 6y

The #patrickmelrose novels open with Patrick staying in the South of France with his horrific parents. Some of this is admittedly difficult to read due to sensitive subject matter, but this is contrasted with the biting black humour used to depict the cast of unpleasant, snobbish characters.
