1985, Edinburgh. Thatcher's policies are biting deep - fat cats and street kids, lovers, losers and the rest struggle to survive. Hume sets up a business catering for the rich and their ever-growing appetites. But by the new millennium, these appetites have become too demanding.
Powerful, challenging and very funny, Billionaires' Banquet is an immortality tale for the 21st century.
The Scottish Review of Books declared it to be 'Brilliant!'
The Scotsman says 'Butlin writes exuberantly . . . Wild comedy and satire alternate with bleak social observation . . . His novel fizzes with intellectual brio.'
