A vulnerable bachelor is blackmailed sexually.
Knowing Women is observationally and psychologically acute. It is also a lot of fun. You knew this middle aged graphics artist with an Eastern European bisexual lap dancer girl friend was headed for trouble and I enjoyed observing his tribulations. I recommend this book very much and hope to read more of the work of Lawless.
Mel Ulm from his blog The Reading Life.
'His ability to treat the ultra-ordinary with a surgeon's forceps is quite impressive… Possessed of a lively, fleet-footed style that brims with intellect and poeticism (he has a study of modern poetry, Clearing The Tangled Wood, to his name), Lawless is an author who we should perhaps start taking more seriously.
