ARGONAUT BOOKS

Where have all the ravers gone? Richard Foster presents a batch of psychedelicized, autofictive fairy tales from the Netherlands. 'The Punk Rock Birdwatching Club' introduces a diverse cast of voices who narrate eight short stories dealing with the major social changes that country underwent during the mid-noughties. We learn of the upheavals brought on by the Euro and the influx of Polish workers alongside the slow disappearance of the British and Irish worker-raver tribes post-Schengen, all set against a backdrop of rising costs, political murders and foreign wars.
