2022: An explosive existential thriller and a piercing examination of what it means to be human … or not.
The Daves Next Door
What you need to know before your trail
A disillusioned nurse suddenly learns how to care.
An injured young sportsman wakes up find that he can see only in black and white.
A desperate old widower takes too many pills and believes that two angels have arrived to usher him through purgatory.
Two agoraphobic men called Dave share the symptoms of a brain tumour, and frequently waken their neighbour with their ongoing rows.
Separate lives, running in parallel, destined to collide and then explode.
Like the suicide bomber, riding the Circle Line, day after day, waiting for the right time to detonate, waiting for answers to his questions: Am I God? Am I dead? Will I blow up this train?
Travel Guide
The London of the Daves
Whilst locations are never really the main part of Will Carver’s novels, this one really pins London to the map.Well, not in the way you would really wants to see it as it’s a series of bomb attacks and grim events. The author mentions at the start of the book that although the novel contains many scenes terrorism and bomb attacks in the capital, it is not inspired by real events. Rather, it is inspired by the crime element of events like this and that it forms a small part of the entire novel.
Maybe don’t get on the Circle line with Will Carver….
