The characters in Feeding Time are as funny, annoying, sharp, deranged, loving, and infinitely various as everyone else. They deserve dignity, and they know it – which makes it all the more imperative that something is done about the appalling conditions in Green Oaks. A story about the triumph of the human spirit told with verve and originality, to simply outline the plot of Feeding Time is to miss out on the strangeness, zest, and vigor of a deeply impressive debut. It is a triumph of the spirit – and a blast of rage against the dying of the light. </div> <div> </div> <div><br /><div> <div><strong>“The first full-length work of fiction from Adam Biles:  Feeding Time… is a scintillating novel of ideas about an ageing world”  (The Guardian, Fiction Picks For 2016)</strong></div> <div> </div> <div><strong> “If Hemingway were around today, he’d be writing paragraphs like these.”  (Frédéric Beigbeder, Le Figaro, December 2015)</strong></div> </div> <div> </div> </div> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-product-author field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Author:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/store/books/author/adam-biles">Adam Biles</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-product-pages field-type-text field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Pages:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">410</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-date-published field-type-datetime field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Published:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><span class="date-display-single">August 2016</span></div></div></div> Thu, 18 Aug 2016 07:22:31 +0000 jordison 312 at https://galleybeggar.co.uk https://galleybeggar.co.uk/store/books/feeding-time-bookstore-edition#comments https://galleybeggar.co.uk/store/books/feeding-time-limited-edition <div class="commerce-product-field commerce-product-field-field-product-image field-field-product-image node-298-product-field-product-image"><div class="field field-name-field-product-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img src="https://galleybeggar.co.uk/sites/default/files/assets/jackets/Adam-Biles--Feeding-Time.jpg" width="390" height="544" alt="" /></div></div></div></div><div class="commerce-product-field commerce-product-field-commerce-price field-commerce-price node-298-product-commerce-price"><div class="field field-name-commerce-price field-type-commerce-price field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Price:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">£11.00</div></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-product field-type-commerce-product-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><form class="commerce-add-to-cart commerce-cart-add-to-cart-form-149-158" action="/taxonomy/term/111/feed" method="post" id="commerce-cart-add-to-cart-form-149-158" accept-charset="UTF-8"><div><div class="attribute-widgets"><div class="form-item form-type-radios form-item-attributes-field-product-type"> <label for="edit-attributes-field-product-type--2">Available as: </label> <div id="edit-attributes-field-product-type--2" class="form-radios"><div class="form-item form-type-radio form-item-attributes-field-product-type"> <input type="radio" id="edit-attributes-field-product-type-40--2" name="attributes[field_product_type]" value="40" class="form-radio" /> <label class="option" for="edit-attributes-field-product-type-40--2">Ebooks </label> </div> <div class="form-item form-type-radio form-item-attributes-field-product-type"> <input type="radio" id="edit-attributes-field-product-type-41" name="attributes[field_product_type]" value="41" checked="checked" class="form-radio" /> <label class="option" for="edit-attributes-field-product-type-41">Limited Editions </label> </div> </div> </div> </div><input type="hidden" name="product_id" value="149" /> <input type="hidden" name="form_build_id" value="form-ujnK3ejtX0VRAN0j-KVuzuGEoQISCsrfJFArXDjxtBc" /> <input type="hidden" name="form_id" value="commerce_cart_add_to_cart_form_149_158" /> <div id="edit-line-item-fields--2" class="form-wrapper"></div><input type="submit" id="edit-submit--2" name="op" value="Add to cart" class="form-submit" /></div></form></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-product-description field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div><strong>Out NOW!</strong><br /> </div> <div><i>This is the limited edition blackflap version of this novel.
