Product Description
Making Nice
Author: Matt Sumell
Format: Paperback
Meet Alby.
Natural habitat: a bar; a boat; his bedroom; a broad's bedroom.
Favourite hobbies: starting fights (then losing them); hooking up with broads (then losing them); hating cats (it's a skill); training Gary the baby bird to be a killer (sort of).
Best kept secret: when his mum died it broke his hear and he doesn't really know what to do about it.
'Sumell's savage humour is thrilling' — New York Times
'Gloriously funny' — Literary Review
'Making Nice has an anarchic humour and a goofy, ingenious humanity that makes every page feel new' — Guardian
