When ordinary, decent citizen Greg Kane takes up with the young actress in the flat opposite, he counts his blessings. Not every forty-something divorcee with kids gets looked after by an attractive, aspiring thespian like Meg. But bliss never lasts. Greg"s car is nicked, and then he is too on a trumped-up traffic charge. At the police station, Greg finds a highly confidential letter from the Chief Constable to the Home Secretary, and it"s dynamite. So Greg nicks it. . . Back at his flat, all hell breaks loose. Broken bones, broken dreams, broken relationships all sanctioned by the glorious State of Quangostan, a land which safeguards everyone except people like Greg and his girlfriend. Can they survive? Will the Chief Constable and her minions grind them down? As the muezzin booms out from mosques all over Blair-Brown Britain, Greg asks himself a lot of questions about his country and his place in it or out of it. Don Coyote"s irreverent and highly entertaining study of "life, innit" has his hero tilting at windmills. But these windmills aren"t imaginary. They"re all too real, and they grind away at our sense of self and our belief in GB PLC. Take heed!
