Jasper Joffe

Nathaniel Water is a doodling, neurotic, self-obsessed young British artist. His career is on the up, but his love life has taken a nosedive. Bored, he proposes marriage to his beautiful Slovak girlfriend, Jelena, with whom he fights constantly. But then he meets Harriet, a curator from Berlin ...

Can Water find happiness? Or is he caught in a downward spiral of nihilism and endless art openings? Delve in to this barking tale of love, family foibles and fame to find out.

'Surprisingly readable - the frivolity of a youthful modern-times columnist in the culture section of one of the Sundays, combined with a sort of egotistical nastiness and a sad interest in the crappier aspects of the art world somehow results in a page turner.' Matthew Collings
