What can be said about Andrew Raymond Drennan that hasn’t been said already? Drennan has attracted a fair amount of controvesy in his career already; he’s also a magnet for astonishing praise.
His writing is bold and edgy-unafraid to attack the major issues of the day, Drennan has courted the ire of the Scottish Catholic Alliance among other groups for his opinions. But Drennan’s fans are equally passionate about his work.
His acerbic wit, sarcasm and brutal satire tears down political hypocrisy, abuse of power and lack of morality in his powerful debut novel on Cargo, “Cancer Party.”
It’s a freezing Glasgow winter. It’s 1997. New Labour is in power. Things can only get better. Following New Labour’s sweep to power, a generation of teens – rich and poor – known only as the GOMA Kids, drift aimlessly into self-destruction.
