Peculiar Memories of Thomas Penman

The acclaimed screenwriter and director of several films, including the cult classic "Withnail & I" and "The Killing Fields" (which won the Academy Award in 1984 for best picture), Bruce Robinson now adds novelist to his long list of credits. The Peculiar Memories of Thomas Penman is a smart, hilarious, and heart-flicking debut that revolves around the scatological misadventures of the spry and spunky working-class teen Thomas Penman. Published in England to rave reviews, the novel chronicles the title character's Salingeresque search for his grandfather's legendary pornography collection, a quest that ultimately reveals intimate secrets much darker than any Thomas could have imagined.
