A psychologist’s political stand threatens to see him driven from the university community. A staffroom argument flares up – does a play­ground fight warrant a student’s expulsion? A young girl sets about mending her broken heart, a skinhead riot erupts and Richard, the biology lecturer at the heart of this simmering forty-eight hours, must deal with the secret which compels them all, unknowingly, to the same conclusion. In <i>Acid Song</i>, an absorbing and darting novel, a varied cast of characters is linked by chance and circumstance. With a powerful, addictive intensity Bernard Beckett composes a corrosive song of our times. 6275983 book 29 8 2008 Acid Song total:2|3:2| 2 6 4 1 3 0 false false Mon Jun 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 19:10:17 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 19:25:33 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Tue Aug 25 16:31:15 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 16:31:15 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jul 08 02:29:14 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 08 02:29:14 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Jun 02 18:37:27 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 02 18:37:27 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6098819
