The Nerve
Low stock: 7 left
Glyn Maxwell’s fascination with the hidden agencies, motives and agendas behind the most casual and innocent of human exchanges is matched by his gift for their revelation. The Nerve bares the wires that run through our familial bonds, our daily self-delusions and moral choices, our responsibilities of work, love and parenthood.
The Nerve is not only, as the title might propose, Maxwell’s most sensitive and confident collection to date; it is a meditation on the politics of landscape, a quietly subversive commentary on the Special Relationship, and as incisive and compassionate a portrait of the human animal in the twenty-first century as anyone has yet delivered.
Praise for Time's Fool:
'A quite extraordinary achievement . . . A daring and unmissable performance' Sunday Telegraph
'Classic yet hip, stylised yet inventive, Maxwell's opus must be destined for cult status' Scotsman

Condition Descriptions
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.
