About this title: Two men's wild adventures through the gutters of London and the Scottish Highlands. The story is set in 1795, whilst the rest of Europe is in turmoil - Goya is deaf, De Quincy is a depraved prepubescent and the young Ludwig von Beethoven is wowing them in Vienna with his second piano concerto.

"Can't believe this is the first book by T. Coraghessan Boyle, a guy form the Hudson Valley! An historic novel this book is funny, sad and and informative."
