So Special
$9.99
Published by Faber & Faber
Porsh talks fast, gets high, sheds blood, loves pain and gives birth with her boots on as she gives her young doctor the eye. She's special. She'll show you how to survive on the streets of the city
Which is what she does with every little headcase in town: Karen, the Rochdale runaway with a weak heart who's looking for the Asian boy who got her pregnant; Sam, the South London alcoholic with a twist of Al Pacino; and Tommy, whose soft hands deliver their first baby and still have to get dirty with the rest of life
Kevin Hood's razor sharp portrait of the young, lost and lonely explodes with all the raucous poetry, vibrant humour and daredevil heart of people who have nothing to lose
