In store now! Meantime by Frankie Boyle

From inside the mad and depraved mind of Frankie Boyle, the stand-up comedian who is equally celebrated as he is loathed, comes a drug fulled Pynchonesque murder-mystery taking us through the dirty back streets of Glasgow, into the internet, and beyond. Meantime marks the maturation of Boyle’s comedic style, distilling his radical, anti-authoritarian comedy into a potent pot-boiler.

Meantime by Frankie Boyle

Hardback £14.99

Glasgow, 2015. When Valium addict Felix McAveety's best friend Marina is found murdered in the local park, he goes looking for answers to questions that he quickly forgets. In a haze of uppers, hallucinogens, and diazepam, Felix enlists the help of a brilliant but mercurial GP; a bright young trade unionist; a failing screenwriter; semi-celebrity crime novelist Jane Pickford; and his crisis fuelled downstairs neighbour Donnie.

Their investigation sends them on a bewildering expedition that takes in Scottish radical politics, Artificial Intelligence, cults, secret agents, smugglers and vegan record shops.

We are back open six days a week, with the whole store open for browsing. We will still of course be taking customer orders and you will still be able to buy food and cleaning products online through our online store. 

We are able to be open 6 days a week again because of your consideration and care whilst in the shop. Though things are opening up, covid cases are still high and a lot of our staff have only received one jab. So we are asking customers to continue to leave that extra space, sanitise their hands and pull on their mask. We really appreciate it.
