Along with Keith Waterhouse - although a very different author - David Storey is one of the few remaining members of a particular school of gritty, English writing who is still producing work. It is over 40 years since Storey burst on the scene with This Sporting Life and now, in his 70th year, he has a new novel that gets under the skin of the dysfunctional with skill and compassion. Thin-Ice Skater details the relationship between 17-year-old Richard and his middle-aged aunt - a journey through obsession, sex and, ultimately, mental collapse. It is Storey's first novel for five years and although his is no longer a fashionable name, he has lost none of his ability to chronicle people who don't quite slot into normal society.
