    About this ebook

    A vulnerable bachelor is blackmailed sexually.
    Knowing Women is observationally and psychologically acute. It is also a lot of fun. You knew this middle aged graphics artist with an Eastern European bisexual lap dancer girl friend was headed for trouble and I enjoyed observing his tribulations. I recommend this book very much and hope to read more of the work of Lawless.
    Mel Ulm from his blog The Reading Life.

    ‘His ability to treat the ultra-ordinary with a surgeon’s forceps is quite impressive... Possessed of a lively, fleet-footed style that brims with intellect and poeticism (he has a study of modern poetry, Clearing The Tangled Wood, to his name), Lawless is an author who we should perhaps start taking more seriously.

      She shakes out the blanket, wraps it around her middle, and sits down. The room is cold and dim and full of quiet. She takes the top book from the stack, and her marker out of the book: Sonnet 49. Against that time (if ever that time come). Against t

      Before Corrine’s husband abandoned her in Berlin, he liked to say that her name reminded him of the word “corrupt.” But ending in a twist rather than a split. Her last name was the French word for “swimsuit” but he never mentioned that. This seemed s
