Fresh

Mark McNay

Sean’s days are of a kind. The factory, the line, the chickens…And his dreams of escape. Then today, Sean’s brother Archie gets out of jail on early release. Which would be great if Archie weren’t a little loose in the head. And if Sean didn’t still owe him a grand.Testing the boundaries of brotherly love, “Fresh” is white-knuckle ride that brings to life one unforgettable day.

Reviews of Fresh

"* 'Menacing, witty, with snappy no-nonsense dialogue and an unambiguously shocking ending… Every bit as fresh as its title.' – Guardian * 'Manages to be tough-hearted and tender-minded, but also drop-dead funny.' – The Times * 'Funny, moving, gripping, magical and tragic. Fresh moves with all the terrifying inexorability of a factory conveyor belt. Brilliant.' – Niall Griffiths * 'Surprising and inventive and new. As a writer he seems quite unafraid, discovering truths and telling stories where he finds them without the need to lecture you. His language is precise and funny and alive.' – Andrew O'Hagan"
