Description for The Bird Room
Paperback. 'Much of The Bird Room's appeal is down to Killen's taut, sharp prose style - not flashy but alternately laconic, melancholy and dryly witty - that gives an edgy, sometimes creepy and very contemporary sense of beauty to the everyday and the banal.' Metro Num Pages: 208 pages. BIC Classification: FA. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 196 x 129 x 14. Weight in Grams: 150.
Alice is at work. Alice thinks I'm at work. I'm not at work.
I'm trying to guess the password to her email account . . .
When Will meets Alice, he can't believe his luck. She's smart, sexy and, much to Will's surprise, in love with him. Alice brings meaning to his urban existence. But true love never came easy and soon devotion leads Will to something darker. The Bird Room is a candid, funny and joyous portrait of love and desire in the modern age.

Reviews for The Bird Room
Those who seek something unique in the contemporary British novel will delight in this adroit, snappy debut, a dark and beguiling meditation on the weight of being . . . A novel so fresh it practically pings with energy . . . Fizzes with deadpan wit and cutting one-liners.
