Аннотация

Jon Michaels — a divorced, disinterested and fatigued editor living a nondescript life in North London — receives a sudden phone call from his brother, informing him that their estranged uncle Rey has been found dead in his caravan on Canvey Island. Recently sacked from his job, carrying a hangover from hell and craving some sort of escape, Jon reluctantly agrees to spend the week on the island to sort through his uncle’s belongings.
Haunting, modern and utterly compelling, Vulgar Things follows Jon as he unearths a disturbing family secret while losing himself in the strangely alluring landscape. Vulgar Things is a novel about love, longing and being lost. It’s about desire, the sea, big skies and nothingness. It's about money and how much we'll dirty our hands to get it. But, above all, it’s about how a chance meeting with a mysterious person can change your life forever.
