Gradual Gathering of Lust
From the confessions of an ex-Miss World to the last stand of an elderly nymphomaniac, the power struggles of brother and sister castaways to the quandaries of a fly-on-the-wall documentary-maker on a tantric sex weekend, Davidson’s enigmatic narrators tell all. A fitting follow-up to his explosive first novel “Scar Culture”, Davidson brings his playful touch and extraordinary imagination to these glittering, fantastic stories.
Reviews of Gradual Gathering of Lust
"One of the most searching books of recent years." Independent "It is hard to imagine this novel being bettered." Telegraph "A dark and fearsomely clever story." The Times "Toni Davidson is as good as Irvine Welsh, more clear-sighted than James Kelman… well-paced, well-written and compelling." Times Literary Supplement "Davidson's is a talent sparkling and unfolding." Edwin Morgan, Scotsman "A brave, highly filmic and complex book displaying a real intelligence prepared to tackle taboo territory with imagination and subversive humour." Herald"
