NED BEAUMAN HAS BEEN NAMED AS ONE OF GRANTA MAGAZINE''S BEST OF YOUNG BRITISH NOVELISTS 2013

Longlisted for the 2012 Man Booker Prize and shortlisted for the for the Guardian First Book Award, Ned Beauman was chosen by The Culture Show as one of the twelve Best New British Writers in 2011.

This is a novel for people with breeding.

Only people with the right genes and the wrong impulses will find its marriage of bold ideas and deplorable characters irresistible. It is a novel that engages the mind while satisfying those that crave the thrill of a chase.

There are riots and sex. There is love and murder. There is Darwinism and Fascism, nightclubs, invented languages and the dangerous bravado of youth. And there are lots of beetles.

It is clever. It is distinctive. It is entertaining.

We hope you are too.

Industry Reviews

a piece of staggeringly energetic intellectual slapstick . . . it's crammed with strange, funny and interesting things - Sam Leith, Guardian

an enjoyable confection; witty, ludicrous and entertaining - James Urquhart, Financial Times

An astonishing debut...buzzing with energy, fizzing with ideas, intoxicating in its language, Boxer, Beetle is sexy, intelligent and deliriously funny - Jake Arnott

A rambunctious, deftly-plotted delight of a debut - Observer

Ned Beauman's astonishingly assured debut starts as it means to go on: confident, droll, and not in the best of taste . . . Many first novels are judged promising. Boxer, Beetle arrives fully formed: original, exhilarating and hugely enjoyable. - Peter Parker, Sunday Times

Frighteningly assured - Katie Guest, Independent on Sunday

Exuberant . . . There are politics, black comedy, experimentation and wild originality - and I haven't even got to the beetles. Terrific. - The Times

Debut bout is a real knockout . . . dazzling - Daily Express
