  Patrick Phelan is an ageing artist who has never made it big but who somehow manages to live on air in a North London suburb.
  
  When not running art classes for amateurs, Patrick wrestles in the shed at the bottom of his garden with his life's work: a series of visionary canvases of The Seven Seals.
  
  When his wheeler-dealer son Marty turns up with a commission from a rich client for some copies of paintings by modern masters, Phelan reluctantly agrees; it means money for his ex-wife Moira. However the deal with Marty is, typically, not what it seems.
  
  What follows is a complex chain of events involving fakery, fraud, kidnapping, murder, the Russian Mafia and a cast of dubious art world characters. A contemporary spin on Joyce Cary's classic satire The Horse's Mouth, The Horse's Arse by Laura Gascoigne is a crime thriller-cum-comic-fable that poses the serious question: where does art go from here?

  A debut novelist casts a satirical eye at southern society while celebrating the power of great teachers in this award-winning comedy of manners. 
   
  Winner of the 2015 Willie Morris Award for Southern Fiction 
   
  As an English teacher at an elite private school in Mountain Brook, Alabama, Norman Laney is as unorthodox as he is morbidly obese. A natural wonder from the blue-collar South, Laney has barged into the exclusive world of Mountain Brook with a mission to defeat “the barbarians,” introduce true civilization in place of its thin veneer, and change his southern world for the better.  
   
  Laney is adored by his students and by the society ladies who rely on him to lead their book clubs and charm their party guests. But there are others who think he is a larger-than-life menace to the status quo. When Laney is suddenly faced with an ultimatum and his imminent dismissal, he must outflank the principal at his own underhanded game, find out who said what about him and why, and launch his current crop of Alabama students into the wider world—or at least into Ivy League colleges.
