Close by is Sound, where you mustn't make any, apart from one designated hour a day when you can scream your lungs raw. Then there's Red - get off at Fuck Station Zero if you want to see a tactical nuclear battle recreated as a sales demonstration.</p><p>Stark has friends in Red, which is just as well because Something is about to happen. And when a Something happens it's no good chanting 'Duck and cover' while cowering in a corner, because a Something is always from the past, Stark's past, and it won't go away until you face it full on.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Excellent reviews: </p><p>'A major work indeed'<br/>Today</p><p>'Smith delivers that rarest of commodities: a genuinely new twist with a punchline of Crying Game proportions'<br/>Time Out</p><p>'No one writes better than Smith about love ...
