Vincent can see souls. He sees them in the supermarkets, at the bus queue, walking along the promenade and on the pleasure pier. He confides in the only person who would believe him - his young daughter May. The souls tell him stories and he shares them with her until the time comes when she can see souls too. But is he more or less than human? Has he a gift, or is he nothing but a misfit? And what is the brutal flame that drives him to the end of the pier one night? It is always raining in Westcliff, and a revelation in the battered seaside town seems unlikely. But the green sea is stirring up a sediment of dark thoughts and troubled times for the Vanwall family and only a revelation can bring the dead back to life. |
Right, that's it! I'm mad as hell, and I ain't gonna take it anymore. I can't go on working for a Nazi newspaper boss, or dodging London's vicious property prices. Nicola, Ben, Molly - we're going to live off the land, so buy some seeds or something. I've claimed political asylum in France and bought a dodgy cider farm. Either the world is falling apart or I'm having a mid-life crisis - and you are either with me or against me! Coq & Bull is the personal testimony of a man convinced by his own propaganda, going mad in Normandy with the pain of house restoration, poverty, family invasions, the French, and the birth of a new political conscience which only exquisite lingerie can relieve. |
