“[A] maniacal little caper . . . Curiosity demands that the reader devour each page to find out exactly what the author wants to say” (Los Angeles Times). Frank runs the Golden Boy fast-food chain, his wife, Mary, is having an affair with the chef, and his son, Virgil, modeled for the Golden Boy logo when he was a baby. All three get embroiled in the machinations of the Everlasting Club, a British organization dedicated to feasting and Dionysian activities that challenge even the most sophisticated of connoisseurs . . . “Nicholson does not stop at the Everlasting Club, with its gastronomic and erotic excesses, but paints a witty but grizzly picture of eating gone awry. Indeed, many readers have found his portrait excessive, which suggests that he is doing something right. This is a brilliantly witty attack on excess which no one who eats should miss.” —The Modern Novel “Kinky food and sex games are the stuff of this high-energy black comedy. . . . Nicholson sustains a tone of campy menace as he brings all these characters to London in a plot that zigs and zags entertainingly.” —Kirkus Reviews “Nicholson’s stateside debut, a dark parable of appetites carnal, commercial and culinary, sets him firmly in the contemporary British mode of savvy, morbid humor pioneered by compatriots like Martin Amis and Pete Davies.” —Publishers Weekly
People can be excluded from freedom and the good things in life by age, disability, poverty, unfair discrimination, crime or the fear of crime, and arrogant and unresponsive governments. This practical reference deals with all of these factors, and shows the links between them. In addition to several hundred shorter notes it includes over a thousand major entries, each of which comprises: a summary of relevant facts, incisive commentary to help readers cut through the fog of jargon and propaganda that confuses many of these issues and websites where the latest information may be found. It concludes with a detailed bibliography of around 500 useful references. The work will be found useful by professionals and managers in all walks of life; by central and local government officials and representatives, and by students in the social sciences. It devotes particular attention to the all-important Disability Discrimination Act, and numerous detailed entries, accompanied in many cases by elegant diagrams, suggest to architects and other designers, facilities managers, and personnel managers how the requirements of the Act may be met.
