[EAN: 9780224084406], Fine, [PU: Jonathan Cape, London], FICTION, UNCORRECTED BOOK PROOF. Book as new, unread, FINE condition. Due publication July 2009. Product Description The Duchess, Zarathustra and 'O' - those were the names they had for each other as they marched hand-in-hand round Hoxton in 1993. Three young iconoclasts living in glorious squalor, dole scrounging, shoplifting, doing drugs and swapping clothes and beds. They survive on the fringes of the Young British Artist scene convinced that they are making their lives into an artwork, even greater than those of the other great artists' menages a trois of the twentieth century - from Henry, June and Anais to Duchamp and his many tangled love triangles. Years later and Saul, Dot and Owen have each been blown in different directions by the explosion of that one year of debauchery and excess: Dot is now an internationally renowned artist; Saul, the mad Nietzschean visionary, has vanished from the world and is rumored to have become a homeless drug addict; and Owen is an art critic, heavily burdened with guilt over what he feels he caused to happen to the other two. 2008. A big retrospective of Dot's work is put on and Owen is forced to face images from their past. Dot and Saul, too, are drawn back together. But as all three are reunited things become complicated - Dot has a child from a broken marriage and so their union of three is now of four. And Owen's feelings of guilt and jealousy resurface, threatening to bring them back to the conflicts that led to Dot to the brink of suicide only then to catapult her to stardom. Is the menage a trois a way to live? Or is it just a dream, a work of art, impossible in reality? "Menage" is a Jules et Jim for the jilted generation. A tale of heroin chic, fake mustaches, shoplifted sherry, pot noodles and a love so powerful that it constantly threatens to destroy the lovers.<
