Read them all, now’ - David Nicholls, author of One DayBad News is the second of Edward St Aubyn’s semi-autobiographical Patrick Melrose novels, adapted for TV for Sky Atlantic and starring Benedict Cumberbatch as the aristocratic addict, Patrick.   Twenty-two years old and in the grip of a massive addiction, Patrick Melrose is forced to fly to New York to collect his father’s ashes. Over the course of a weekend, Patrick’s remorseless search for drugs on the avenues of Manhattan, haunted by old acquaintances and insistent inner voices, sends him into a nightmarish spiral. Alone in his room at the Pierre Hotel, he pushes body and mind to the very edge – desperate always to stay one step ahead of his rapidly encroaching past.   Bad News was originally published, along with Never Mind and Some Hope, as part of a three-book omnibus also called Some Hope.   ‘The Melrose novels are remarkable – ferociously funny, painfully acute and exhilaratingly written’ - Peter Kemp, Sunday TimesPart of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.","brand":"Pan Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50052606394656,"sku":"9781035063741","price":9.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781035063741.jpg?v=1781396859","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/bad-news-edward-st-aubyn-9781035063741","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
