Description
"Accountant, virgin, large-bottomed man of unusual drabness, Edmund Crowe wants nothing more than to fit in. Trouble is, nothing feels right. Least of all the Roundhouse: Mecca to Camden's undesirables - people with low moral standards and correspondingly low standards of hygiene." "Assigned the job of balancing the Roundhouse's books - and thereby ensure its demise - Edmund is advised to keep his purpose there a secret. But then Barney appears on the scene: Barney the Lothario, the fine-handed gypsy, and hitherto the undisputed King of the Roundhouse." "Before long, Edmund and Barney are fighting it out for the affections of an ice-cream coquette called Lia. Sex, drugs, rock n' roll and mutant rats swiftly follow as Edmund's life changes in previously unimaginable ways." "Charting the progress of Barney, Lia and Edmund, from the orgiastic, mind-bending 1970s to the social-climbing, emotionally famished 1990s, from crumbling cityscape to lavish country retreat, Kings of the Roundhouse is a twisted, darkly comic novel about love, friendship, men, money, and the life-transforming power of lightning strikes."--BOOK JACKET.
