The pupils who bring him their fantasies are a sad, dispossessed group with varying degrees of literary talent. Caught up in a series of bizarre events, Benson nevertheless finds his own imagination sparked by an encounter with two old army colleagues: Thompson, down-and-out and homeless; and Slater, a fabulously wealthy entrepreneur. In trying to heal old wounds, Benson unleashes a plan that just may blow up in his face. \"There is a violent resolution to this obsessive and provocative novel that examines the abscesses and abysses beneath the violence of urban life and offers a quixotic personal answer.\" -- \u003cem\u003eThe Times\u003c\/em\u003e [London] \"Fine descriptive writing and spirited humanity.\" -- \u003cem\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/em\u003e Published for the first time in the United States Booker Prize-winning author of \u003cem\u003eSacred Hunger\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 258\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.61 x 8.25 x 5.46 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 11, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47227680588025,"sku":"9780393318906","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Z1dXcWpBb1h2SVF3amFmMERnanR2dz09_7bd47e4c-094e-4f15-8c6e-7169a5f1d9d5.webp?v=1768285287","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/sugar-and-rum-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
