A failed academic career, a soul-crushing call-centre job, an Alcoholics Anonymous group he resents attending: he’s checked out from all of it. He spends the Sydney summer trying to avoid the sun, and lives only for the evenings when he can visit Emma, a sex worker at a local brothel. It’s during these rented hours that Anthony finds brief moments of human connection. He can afford to see Emma maybe once a month, but he can never hold on that long.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen Emma disappears, and there’s nowhere left for Anthony to hide. By turns appalling, funny and tender, The Bedevilments is an eye-opening story about addiction, sex and anonymity. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57580209078645,"sku":"9781738466788","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781738466788.jpg?v=1789541654","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781738466788","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
