With an introduction by Richard Flanagan
Dove Findhorn is a naïve country boy who busts out of Hicksville, Texas in pursuit of a better life in New Orleans. Amongst the downtrodden prostitutes, bootleggers and hustlers of the old French Quarter, Dove finds only hopelessness, crime and despair. His quest uncovers a harrowing grotesque of the American Dream.
A Walk in the Wild Side is an angry, lonely, large-hearted and often funny masterpiece that has captured the imaginations of every generation since its first publication in 1956, and that rendered a world later immortalised in Lou Reed´s classic song.

Shipping terms
For Domestic orders, shipping is based upon the total weight of the order & not per book. Shipping rates to most countries are now based upon the actual weight of the book or books, so ( all things being equal ) the price for shipping is the true cost of sending your order. So, a small paperback will be far cheaper than a large tome - CHEERS ABE FOR THIS. We ship to all nations. All items are packed individually and to a very high standard, using only easily recyclable materials. We DO NOT just stick the book in a polythene mailer with a prayer.
