mortality

Summary:

Reminiscent of such novels as The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time and What’s Eating Gilbert Grape , a darkly funny and surprisingly tender debut novel about two brothers, one of whom refuses to leave his bed on his twenty-fifth birthday.

Written by a talented and award-winning young journalist, Bed was the first winner of a new high-profile prize for unpublished manuscripts announced during the 2010 London Book Fair, and has been hailed as a “momentous” debut in the UK.
