The second novel from Lee Rourke, author of the cult hit ‘The Canal’. Jon Michaels – a divorced, disaffected and fatigued editor living a nonde* life in North London – wakes one morning to a phone call informing him that his uncle has been found dead in his caravan on Canvey Island. Dismissed from his job only the day before and hung-over, Jon reluctantly agrees to sort through his uncle’s belongings and clear out the caravan. What follows is a quixotic week on Canvey as Jon, led on by desire and delusion, purposeful but increasingly disorientated, unfolds a disturbing secret, ever more enchanted by the island – its landscape and its atmosphere. Haunted and haunting, ‘Vulgar Things’ is part mystery, part romance, part odyssey: a novel in which the menial entrances and the banal compels.

COPYRIGHT

From the reviews of Vulgar Things:

DEDICATION

MAYBE SOMEONE IS WONDERING JUST WHAT I’M DOING HERE

an office

lunch hour

everything looks as it should

into a room

petty dramas

some sort of theatre

the phone call

FRIDAY

recollections

the island

being here makes perfect sense

because there’s nothing else to do

such a long time

caravan 27

SATURDAY

along the sea wall

eating in silence

into the depths

vulgar things

feel like walking

the stick

towards the sea

box 27

a kind of shuffle

floating in space

black screen

SUNDAY

the same girl

suburban drabness

falling

afternoon drinking

toledo road

language is such a mess

blackening

rerum vulgarium fragmenta

MONDAY

all colliding

stranded

signalling

a photographic list of dancers

painting the sky

being wrong

if you want anything

ejected and abandoned

something snaps

short circuit

you must have found something

haunting

some fucking present

path of saturn

TUESDAY

scene/image

camouflage

it’s a short chapter

a different narrative of the same thing

cliché

the underworld

failing light

pointless

it has to be her

they kiss

waxy with sweat

looming windows

artificial light flickers

blank space between the scenes

he won’t bite

part of the furniture

aggressive behaviour

it all happens quickly

just the silence

we understand that, sir

i tell you

WEDNESDAY

first train

another box

it feels wrong

motionless

drift along with them

whispers

no sense at all

pushing against us

looping at intervals

three thousand eight hundred

something hits

fishing

to the ground

random drawers

it stops

bags and boxes

it all becomes visible

need to move closer

i know this won’t last

THURSDAY

some kind of happiness

the voices float by

i had it in me

moving away from me

nothing can be deciphered

speak quietly

is it all finished?

it doesn’t feel like an ending

BACK IN THE NIGHT I LAY DOWN BY YOUR FIRESIDE

twinkling, silent, beautiful

title page

beacons all around me

some grand prologue
