From the back seat of a porn theatre, from the word lovers' asylum, Honest Publishing's second release is the controversial, earth-shattering, mind-smacking The Killing of a Bank Manager. Inspired by John Cassavetes giving away the ending and James Joyce selling his soul to The Benny Hill Show, Kavanagh has deconstructed and reconstruced wordage to blow the contemporary reader's iMind. The Killing of a Bank Manager revolves around Henry, a man on the edge, head over heels in love with beauty, literature and drinking. The moments before, the days that lead up to, the years that have built up to, the green doors and Richard Dadd. The story bubbles with greed, desire and the dangers associated with groups, the journey into and out of consciousness. It's the daily grind meets the daily muse. And Henry loves Laura, the honey in Winnie the Pooh, as well as razors and flights of fancy, quotes and stealing the words of others for his own battered ego. The perfect antidote to beach reading, The Killing of a Bank Manager will tease the hell out of heaven and knock Mr Mainstream's spotless teeth out onto the bathroom floor. You know how it ends. Now find out everything else.

The Collected Yaps of the Wee Ginger Dug: Volume 3

Wee Ginger Dug

Beneath the wit and linguistic trickery of Paul Kavanagh in the company of his trusted Wee Ginger Dug, you'll find an encyclopaedic knowledge of Scottish politics. Here is political satire in the best tradition. No punches are pulled, and strangely the humour is both brutal and subtle. This collection of articles in The National, which is separate from the prolific author's activity as a blogger, forms a coherent whole in which ideas and linguistic jokes evolve. For instance, Jim Murphy's acolytes start the collection as Murphoids but mutate into the Haemurphoids, "a dwindling band of minions"."Ed, Davie, Nick and Nige scream that Scotland's choices are illegitimate and unwelcome. But to no avail: no one in Scotland is listening to the four hoarse men of the Jockalypse." The Jockalypse makes more than one appearance, and in the wake of Project Fear this should come as no surprise. Kavanagh is always ready with a smart phrase that encapsulates both the absurdities we live through and the real hopes for change that have caught Scotland's imagination.
