Alex \u2018Abs\u2019 Brenchley is back. The seven-foot tragedy opens the sequel to Silk Handkerchiefs with the words \u201c2008 was the worst year of my life.\u201d This is the story of that year.<\/p>\n

Her tongue \u2013 foraging a path through my skull \u2013 she\u2019s lost in sweet Abstacy \u2013 all thine energy and concentration directed towards staying upright \u2013 tantalisingly she nibbles my chin \u2013 I rest, my consciousness falters \u2013 her naughty hands all over the shop \u2013 just need a little TO is all \u2013 but, oh my \u2013 feel numb and can\u2019t fully appreciate \u2013 the sensations \u2013 past the belt-line \u2013 clutching my butt-cheeks \u2013 resting on her shoulder, drift off \u2013 come back around as I feel\u2026 \u2013 a sturdy finger penetrates my arse \u2013 the annulus is in my anus! \u2013 and two \u2013 frantically fingering my tradesman\u2019s \u2013 I fall back to sleep \u2013 until \u2013 a massaging of my balls and P is still soft and doughy \u2013 what gives? \u2013 the diet pills have stolen my wood! \u2013 and her wide, excavating tongue returns to forage deep, deep, deep inside my throat and I can\u2019t take it\u2026bileous\u2026no more\u2026have to stop, I\u2019m about to \u2013 puke! \u2013 I swing back \u2013 she gasps in ecstasy \u2013 puke! \u2013 I run\u2014<\/p>\n

Alone, Desperate and Going Nowhere sweeps our hyper-emotional hero across England, into the depths of despair and deranged behaviour, towards a mythical destination \u2013 The Lady Field \u2013 a fabled area of Hampstead Heath where it isn\u2019t just men who are cruising. Carnforth yobs,Sex and the City: The Movie, dogging fanatics, Christian Slater, Community Support Officers and the Page Street Gang \u2013 these are just some of the forces Alex is up against as he seeks to find the manhood, absolution and purpose in life that will empower him to win the love of Trevoreesia, his Absqueen.<\/p>\n

All the while, the economy is collapsing \u2013 \u201cMy life had been in crisis for so long and now the world was catching up,\u201d observes Alex \u2013 and the soundtrack to this far-gone era is Take That\u2019s cruel taunt: THIS COULD BE THE GREATEST DAY OF OUR LIVES. Does that day come for Alex Brenchley or will he remain, always and forever, Alone, Desperate and Going Nowhere?<\/p>\n

Mixing Cockney, teen lingo, Victorian slang and inventive wordplay, Haworth\u2019s colourful style makes for an exhilarating and addictive read. This is the second part in a trilogy of comedic novels about Alex Brenchley.<\/p>\n
