'Uncle' Paul's a média lawyer; Rob and Ali are upwardly mobile corporate bunnies; pretty, hopeful Pris is a single mother; Haze is still living up to his drug-inspired name, twenty years on; and
fierce, protective Hol is a gifted if acerbic critic. As young film students they lived at Willoughtree House with Guy, and they've all come back because they want something. Kit, too, has ulterior motives- Before his father dies he wants to know who his mother is, and what's on the mysterious tape they're all looking fon But most of all he wants to stop time and keep his father alive,
Fast-paced, gripping and savagely funny, The Quarry is a virtuoso performance whose soaring riffs on the inexhaustible marvei of humán perception and rage against the dying of the light will stand among Iáin Banks' greatest work. Vissza
