Kelly + Victor

By Niall Griffiths

Book Overview

A bar in Liverpool January 2nd 200:
VICTOR meets a girl. Some time later that night he is in her bed. This he thinks is the best sex he's ever had.
KELLY meets a boy. Some time later that night he is in her bed. This she thinks is the best sex she's ever had.

So the story of Kelly + Victor progresses through two mirror-image narratives: a story of the growth and spiralling intensity of sexual obsession traced to its inevitable devastating conclusion. Set against a backdrop of urban despair spiritual absence and a world swamped with pornography this is a novel about yearning for union for purity and for magic and mystery in a world that denies them all. And it is above everything a love story - or all that 21st century Britain will allow of one.
