It's What He Would've Wanted
Sean Hughes is an award-winning Irish comic turned bestselling writer whom the British Independent has compared to the likes of Irvine Welsh, James Kelman, and Will Self.

It's what He Would've Wanted
The Hicksons are a quintessentially comfortable Blairite middle-class family with a house on the edge of the New Forest in Hampshire. On Boxing Day, the two sons arrive: Shea and Orwell (after Che Guevara and George, their father being a bit of a radical in his youth). Shea retires to his father's study to make a phone call and discovers his father hanging from the light-fitting. So begins a journey of discovery by Shea to find out why his father - a minor celebrity BBC TV weatherman - killed himself.

Brutally funny, highly charged and compulsively readable this is Sean Hughes at the height of his considerable narrative powers.
