What is The Wrecking Ball about?
A satirical novel about the fashion and music industries circa 2006, 'The Wrecking Ball' follows four friends as their summer reaches a crescendo of music, melodrama and hedonism. Rich and degenerate, Alice, Harry, Rose and Hugo traverse the clubs and crevices of London, music festivals disturbing the English countryside, parties in Manhattan and break-downs in hotel rooms. Somewhere between a pastiche and homage to Ellis, MacInerney and Waugh, 'The Wrecking Ball' merges deadpan humour with melancholy in a succinct study of excessive youth.
