Publisher's Synopsis
KNOCK is a novel about the final days of a London postman suffering from terminal pneumonia. "He belongs, really, to the streets of Dublin - or perhaps Mr Harbinson's Belfast - not London. So do most of the other characters in this sad, moving, often beautifully funny and engagingly stately progress through a man's mind and past." (London Daily Telegraph) KNOCK "belongs to an Irish tradition that runs from Charles Lever and Samuel Lover, down through Joyce, Beckett and Donleavy. (Colin Wilson, Afterword).
