A dazzling, dizzying debut - a high-speed American tragicomedy from an astonishing new talent.

Sixteen-year-old high-school drop-out Bobby moves to Dallas to join his big brother Jim in the jewellery trade. Jim's glamorous girlfriend Lisa is the best saleswoman in the business and from the moment Bobby meets her he falls under her spell.

Bobby discovers a new world - glitzy, trashy and hedonistic

- where sex and money rule. As the brothers' fortunes explode will their rivalry for Lisa ruin everything?

Reviews for How to Sell

Dirty, greatly original, and very hard to stop reading -- Jonathan Franzen How To Sell is a bleak, funny, unforgiving novel about how we buy and sell everything - merchandise, drugs, sex, trust, power, peace of mind, religion, friendship, and each other. It's written extremely finely, with wit and enviable self-control. A genuinely fresh, disconcerting voice -- Zadie Smith A relentless, clever, sordid novel about what lies at the heart of most transactions - sex and money -- Francesca Segal * Observer * Smart, devious and sad -- Catherine Taylor * Guardian * This book smells like a hit * Vogue *
