The Demolition of the Century
Formats & Editions
Tom Spotswood (a.k.a. William McGinty) is an insurance investigator who has lost his socks, his suitcase, his career, his ex-wife, and most importantly, his son, Frank.
He is being followed by Robert Valentine, the mysterious owner of the horse with no sperm; Alastair Shook and his van of teenage guards; and Spud, a demolition man who is using his wrecking ball to bring down the most beautiful movie theatre in town, the Century.
To find his son he will have to come to terms with his past - a past he ran away from. But first he will have to find those socks...
Duncan Sarkies, a short-story-writer, novelist and scriptwriter for TV shows like Flight of the Conchords, writes fiction that will appeal to fans of kooky, quirky humour.
