Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2012

The hilarious new novel from the Booker-shortlisted author of DARKMANS, Nicola Barker.

"The Yips is a novel that's more than just odd." The Guardian.

It’s a story of professional golfer Stuart Ransom, described as an equal to Martin Amis’ John Self in the pantheon of male literary grotesques. Set in Luton, this comic novel also includes a woman priest with an unruly fringe, the troubled family of a notorious local fascist and a free-thinking Muslim sex therapist, as it delves into the murky recesses of the masculine psyche.
