Scum: Behind The Concrete Curtain

Scum looks at a small period of time in the life of a young man, any young man, who is on his own, doing his best and has not yet found his way onto the social ladder. Torn between the priorities of his friends, the community and the job centre, the classic vision of 'life in front of daytime tv' is washed away with some very realist, gritty and honest commentary. From the author of "A Poet, On Park Hill?" Colver brings his fourteen plus years experience of living life under the shadow of this stereotype. Exciting, fresh and with a healthy dose of spice, Scum will entertain you first, make you laugh and then maybe help you think again when discussing welfare and what a modern nation can be expected to offer for its citizens. With some swearing and brief but mild erotic scenes, Scum is a book suitable for an adult audience. It also may be suitable for some teenagers.
