Conjugal Rites

I picked up Conjugal Rites by Paul Majrs (pronounced Mars) mainly because Russell T Davies, the man mainly responsible for the resurrection of Dr Who, had proclaimed Majrs "a great novellist". I hate to disagree with Mr Davies, of whose Dr Who programmes I am a fan, but such a designation is ludicrous. Conjugal Rites is entertaining if one likes that sort of thing and I am sure that it will go down well among students at minor universities to whom "different" equals "talent" but for mainstream readers like myself "way out" equals "early exit". This is another volume that I failed to read all the way through.
