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.
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.
