Author's 2nd novel,the first being 'Brilliant Creatures'. Things really started to go out of control for Joel Court when Veronica Lilywhite muscled in on his star - no astronomer actually owns them, though they might get lucky enough to lend one a name - but Veronica's joyless methods were winning the professional contest.While she arrived at her elegant,seminal discoveries with home-baked maths in infuriating Chinese notebooks,Joel was becoming the David Attenborough of the Asteroids in his own television spot,though he suffered from slight mobility problems in outdoor action shots which the Observer critic claimed made him think the single-frame advance on his VCR had got stuck.Weekly the programme took Joel away from the bosom of his family in Cambridge to the bosom of a blonde research assistant called Gael, and eventually Joel's American wife simply turfed him out.It was time to navigate the convoluted corridors of the Barbican to the flat of his fellow-expatriate,Chance Jenolan,and take his chances.Bankable enough by now to have embarked on a suicidally obscure 'great big bad movie', Chance was a specialist on the other sort of star.They orbited his life in dazzling clusters.But at his side shone one heavenly body Joel soon could not bear to have out of his sights.Her name was the Mole.From the Barbican to Biarritz,Joel's Odyssey unfolds with incomparable Jamesian flourish.Tempting and tender as the Mole herself,it is also a love story of a very contemporary order and a glittering spectacle for star-gazers of every description.
