Fiction

Nothing Is Heavy - Head Work

by Vicki Jarrett

Description

A singularly unpretentious and progressive novel of crime, drama and comedy, dripping with inner city colour. — Peter Burnett


The Deep Sea Chippy and the Fantasy Island Bar face each other across the neon glow of Edinburgh’s Junction Street. Beth shovels chips on one side and Amber spins naked around a pole on the other. Their work is mundane and predictable, each night much like any other, until a sudden, dramatic death forces them to choose between relative safety and risk.


Into this situation wanders George, lost and broken-hearted, and dressed in a monkey costume.
Nothing is Heavy follows these three characters over the course of one intense Saturday night. Unaware that their lives are already intimately connected by a previous tragedy, their fates collide again with completely unpredictable results.


What ensues is a hilarious, surreal, furiously-paced adventure involving sex, drugs, chips and angels which hovers masterfully between tragedy and farce.


Award winning author Vicki Jarrett’s debut novel has been rapturously reviewed. She is widely regarded as an original young Scottish writer.
