Angel
London: Spradabach Publishing, 2022

Angel is a novel that follows the eponymous characters’ misadventures as he attempts failingly to negotiate life as an impoverished university student in the present-day United Kingdom. Angel is physically unprepossessing to the point of emaciation, a romantic who is out of place on a university campus that is replete with social justice warriors, hideously shrill feminists, activist professors, climate change zealots, loan-sharking foreign students, slovenly roommates, rigidly officious administrators, and very few allies.
