The Return of the Man Who Has Everything

In The Return of the Man Who Has Everything, Rupert Loydell continues his exploration of post-confessional narrative previously undertaken in Wildlife and the Smartarse anthology. The Man who Has Everything is an unlikely anti-hero, adrift in a world of instant gratification, momentary experiences and instant answers, in contrast to the music, art, books and conversation he prefers. Melancholic, witty and sometimes absurd, these new poems offer stories and observations, asides and assumptions, as they cut through the crap and try to make sense of contemporary life.
