BESTIAL BURDENS

Neil Randall | Literary Fiction

A therapist starts to see worrying parallels between his own personal life and that of his new client – an ex-porn star struggling to come to terms with fatherhood, a man whose sexual odyssey turned into a nightmare of violence, betrayal, drink and drug abuse.

In his new novel, Neil Randall explores issues of intimacy through the eyes of two very different characters, men unable to give or receive any kind of affection, men to whom sex has become a cold, ugly performance, bereft of the love, warmth, and companionship all human beings require.
