Description

Set on a canal linking Glasgow and Edinburgh, Young Adam is the masterly literary debut by one of the most important British post-war novelists. Trocchis narrator is an outsider, a drifter working for the skipper of a barge. Together they discover a young womans corpse floating in the canal, and tensions increase further in cramped confines with the narrators highly charged seduction of the skippers wife. Conventional morality and the objective meaning of events are stripped away in a work that proves compulsively readable.
