It Can’t Go on – Joseph Connolly

Faber, 2000, Medium-format paperback – Fiction – 334 pp.
In one of his most brilliantly constructed and wickedly funny novels, Joseph Connolly takes us to the dark heart of sexual obsession.
In razor-sharp comic style, Joseph Connolly sets up his characters like pawns in a devilish chess game, prodding them towards war, conquest, or merely in evermaddening circles.
