Tom Spotswood (a.k.a. William McGinty) is an insurance investigator who has lost his socks, his suitcase, his career, his ex-wife and, most importantly, his son, Frank. He is being followed by Robert Valentine, the mysterious owner of the horse with no sperm; Alastair Shook and his van of guards; and Spud, a demolition man who is using his wrecking ball to bring down the most beautiful movie theatre in town, the Century. To find his son Tom will have to come to terms with his past - a past he ran away from. But first will have to find those socks. The Demolition of the Century is the second novel from Duncan Sarkies, the highly acclaimed author of Two Little Boys. In his latest novel, Sarkies takes a sometimes savage, sometimes humorous and sometimes heartbreaking look at families, memories, demolition and the fragility of the human mind.
Duncan Sarkies has written several plays, film scripts and live shows as well as two novels. He wrote an episode for the HBO TV series Flight of the Conchords and his book of short stories, Stray Thoughts and Nose Bleeds, won Best First Book at the Montana New Zealand Book Awards in 2000. Two Little Boys was released as a feature film in 2012.
