The Late Hector Kipling

Hector Kipling has everything to live for: he is a talented artist with a seemingly perfect life. But when one of his best friends announces that he may have a brain tumour, the prospect of a character-building bereavement, with all the attendant suffering, is a little tood difficult for Hector to resist. Will it make him a better artist? Will it make him as successful as his friend Lenny Snook, who fills limousines with blood and has just been nominated for the Turner Prize? As events begin to unravel it doesn`t take long for Hector`s charmed world to fall irreparably apart.
