“Book Descriptions: Freewill, love, death, revolution - a student has the themes for his creative writing PhD. He pins them to Elsie Stewart and embarks on her biography. Love takes Elsie to the Spanish Civil War while the story hurtles off into the maelstrom of Ukrainian twentieth century history. Can Professor Thrub's post-structural guidance haul the project back on track? Will love and surgery redeem our student's struggles for a good life, significance and a doctorate? This biting comedy of love, desperation and existence offers a thrilling ride into the world of a major new writer. Praise for earlier D.D.Johnston: The Sunday Herald: 'Funny as all hell. And it's got morally ambiguous people in it.' The Morning Star: 'A very urgent relevance now and for the immediate future.'” DRIVE
