'This is literary fiction at its beautifully wrought best' Nigella Lawson. Both a defiant elegy for a vanished decade and a moving love story. Set against the backdrop of 1980s London, Senseless chronicles, through the jaded faculties of its narrator, a world which veers from dancing to desiring, from laughter to disaster, from recreational drugs to proscribed ones, and back. At the core of the story lie George's two principal relationships - with his brother, Kelly, whom he cannot seem to love, and with his best friend, Matthew, whom he loves like a true brother. Together George and Matthew confront shame and ignorance with indomitable spirit and dignity. Paul Golding's narrative is a search for sense itself.
