With the Safety Off at reduced price!
It’s Yeoville in the mid-1990s. Enter Fig, a copywriter with a penchant for living on the edge – staying up all night, having casual sex and snorting cocaine. Drifting from seedy clubs to grotty flats, Fig continues his aimless odyssey … until the day he falls asleep in a client presentation and is fired.
We are offering the book at a reduced price of R60 per copy. Courier to your door is R100, so R160 altogether.
Email cummiskeyg@gmail.com to order.
