A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

The Deconstruction of Professor Thrub is like a dopamine-enhanced Porterhouse Blue. As a PhD student grapples with the issues of free will and determinism refracted through the life of a Spanish civil war veteran, Johnston offers us a clanging charivari of clinical administrators, angry old academics and randy students. Among this din, Johnston takes us on quite an emotional and intellectual journey. Johnston's raw and unexpurgated humour, which gave his characters in peave, Love and Petrol Bombs such humanity, returns as coarse as ever. .. a determinedly extraordinary book. --Paul Simon - The Morning Star

An ambitious, erudite work with a profound interest in the world as we find it ...infused with a conviction of what the novel should be, and what it can achieve. --Christopher Burns - The Warwick Review

A historical epic, a story about love, revolution and the university, with echoes of Luther Blissett's Q and a lot of laughs, this is a great book which entertains, confuses and educates in equal measure. You should read it! --Steven Johns - Libcom.org

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This is a love story, a quest, a historical novel that takes in the Spanish Civil war and then dives deep into the turbulence of 20th century Ukraine, and even a campus comedy. The Morning Star called it 'determinedly extraordinary' and named it one of the Radical Books of The Year, and it was longlisted for the Goldsmiths Prize. Follow the journeys of a love-lorn PhD student, who chases the biography of a feminist hero despite the withering contempt of his professor.
