Written with unstoppable flow, Wretchedness mixes high and low culture in an inimitable way. Publisher Description *LONGLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE 2021*Malm, Sweden. A cellist meets a spun-out junkie. That could have been me. His mind starts to glitch between his memories and the avant-garde music he loves, and he descends into his past, hearing all over again the chaotic song of his youth. He emerges to a different sound, heading for a crash.From sprawling housing projects to underground clubs and squat parties, Wretchedness is a blistering trip through the underbelly of Europes cities. Powered by a furious, unpredictable beat, this is a paean to brotherhood, to those who didnt make it however hard they fought, and a visceral indictment of the poverty which took them.
