The Onion Eaters
A strange tale which I didn't really enjoy reading that much but which was interesting enough to finish. Unlikely situations and characters in the extreme. An odd mix of great descriptive and stream of consciousness passages, bathos and pathos, fairly graphic sex and violence and just plain stupidity. Felt a bit like Tom Sharpe although it's so long ago I read him I may be wrong. If his other books are like the good bits I'd read them but probably won't bother. A curate's egg of a book.
