About this ebook
The uproarious new novel from the mind of the number one bestselling author of Grief is the Thing with Feathers and Lanny.
Quiet on set, please.
Enter Lynette: actor, director, force of nature. Maybe you recognise her from that television drama that ran and ran? People often do. But she hasn't worked in a while. She hasn't been very well.
Today's her birthday. She's waking up, hungover, in a hotel room. Outside, a dreary English seaside town. Grey skies, crazy golf. A row of blue Coastal Defence huts. The stage is set for her final performance. Is it a farce, a tragedy, a revenge story - or just her life? Either way, the ghosts of the past must be met, the ills of the present slain. And Lynette will not go gentle into that good night.
' Burn and Rave . . . left me inspired, consoled, and thankful' Samantha Harvey
'No one writes like Max Porter and it's a thrill to watch him play with form' Douglas Stuart
'Brilliant and sad and audacious and bonkers. I loved it' Maggie O'Farrell
