Never Mind

Never Mind, the first installment in Edward St. Aubyn's wonderful, wry, and profound Patrick Melrose Cycle, follows five-year-old Patrick through a single day as the Melrose family awaits the arrival of guests. Bright and imaginative, young Patrick struggles daily to contend with the searing cruelty of his father and the resignation of his embattled mother. But on this day he must endure an unprecedented horror—one that splits his world in two. In Never Mind, St. Aubyn renders this vivid tragedy with profound grace and precision, and introduces us to the unforgettable, complex figure of Patrick Melrose. The basis for the five-Part Limited Event Series on Showtime, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Blythe Danner Praise for Edward St. Aubyn and the Patrick Melrose Cycle: "Dialogue as amusing as Waugh's and narrative even more deft than Graham Greene's." —Edmund White "One of the preeminent writers of his generation." —Will Self "Our purest living prose stylist." —The Guardian "St. Aubyn writes with exquisite control and a brilliant comic touch . . . One of the best fictional cycles in contemporary fiction." —The Boston Globe
