The Last Sane Man On Earth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781916016521)

Sequel to The World Is (Not) A Cold Dead Place, The Last Sane Man On Earth is an acerbically funny critique of post-Brexit Britain and the social media age, through the eyes of one of modern fiction's great outsiders.

Two years on from the life-changing events of The World Is (Not) A Cold Dead Place, misanthropic anti-hero Gary Lennon is back.

With a girlfriend, a new therapist and a slightly less unfulfilling job, Gary is trying to get his act together. But, in these troubling times, just how long can Gary keep a lid on his simmering frustrations? And will speaking his mind now be enough, especially when an anarchic old friend comes crashing back into his life...

"Nathan O'Hagan can do grotesque comedy and bitter-sweet realism. By combining the two, he creates a world we recognise and care about." Russ Litten, author of Scream If You Want To Go Faster and We Know What We Are

"Like a punctured can of beer, this great novel seethes as it slowly releases its pressure. Like Irvine Welsh or Chuck Palahniuk, O'Hagan is fearless, unflinching and never afraid to go too far if his acutely observed characters demand it. The result is a satirical, poignant and hilarious modern classic for our wounded times.' Mark Connors, author of Stickleback

Reactions to The World Is (Not) A Cold Dead Place:

"Funny, dark, shitty, moving. Reminded me of loads of great books and films."
James Brown author of Above Head Height, editor of Loaded, GQ, Four Four Two

"A scathing, suspicious yet accurate account of modern society as seen through the main character's eyes - a character who in the same turn is endearing - and it is incredibly funny in places. If you like your humour on the darker side and you find yourself rooting for the underdog, introduce yourself to Gary Lennon." Blooming Brilliant Books

"An intelligent read and reminded me of both Bret Easton Ellis' American Psycho and Graeme Simsion's The Rosie Project and The Rose Effect. I am definitely hoping for a sequel as I want to see and hear more of Gary and how things are going to work out." Clare Coombes, author of Definitions, We Are Dust
