Publisher's Synopsis
Peter Raynard's debut collection Precarious takes questions of masculinity, class, mental health and work head on, issues that many people, especially men and boys, find difficult to address. Rosa Luxembourg, Orgreave, 11-plus failures, tic-tac men, a priest from central casting and a man who only eats sandwiches - it's a book about precarious times, hard lessons and fragile lives, a defiant celebration of British working-class life and the people 'who make the wheels go round', provocative, funny, poignant and bloody angry.
