Naw much of a talker

"Known only as 'the goalie', the novel's narrator is always taking the blame. He's just been released from jail, having kept schtum during a drugs bust. The goalie is a sucker for a good story, he lives and breathes them, telling stories to himself and anyone who'll listen as he struggles to go straight. On a trip together to Spain, Regi, his new girlfriend, realises that this obsession with storytelling has its downside; the goalie is all too ready to believe the yarns his friends spin."--Back cover.
