Description

Longlisted for the Goldsmiths Prize. A Morning Star 'Radical Book of the Year'.

The Deconstruction of Professor Thrubb is a radical trek through twentieth-century history, with a stunning depiction of Ukraine's civil wars. It's also a brazan campus comedy, a medical drama and a cheery ride through the Scottish Highlands.

A PhD student tracks the biography of Elsie Stewart from her job as a London maid and to the Spanish Civil War while true love runs far from smooth. His neurotic supervisor, Professor Thrub, is a bewildering mentor with secrets of his own.



About the Author
Scottish novelist D.D. Johnston writes books that are "Funny as all Hell" (The Sunday Herald), and "determinedly extraordinary" (The Morning Star). His novels are characterised by their ambition, variety, and invention. The consistent theme throughout Johnston's writing is his love for ordinary people, and his faith in the extraordinary things we can achieve together. He is senior lecturer in creative writing at the University of Gloucestershire.

Reviews

"The Deconstruction of Professor Thrub is like a dopamine-enhanced Porterhouse Blue... a determinedly extraordinary book" - The Morning Star

"An ambitious, erudite work with a profound interest in the world as we find it" - Christopher Burns, The Warwick Review

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

My favourite pick for manga

Great delivery to EU, no issues with customs. Very good packaging. A nice selection of manga and, so far, the best prices I could find :)

Great as always

Same old, same old. Amazing experience, great packaging, shipping was faster since it was a bit smaller and check out was smooth as butter. I have now put myself on a buy allowance because I cannot be trusted lol.
