Modern man is ultra quick by Gavin William Wright

There is perhaps something that will surprise you about modern man - sometimes all he wants is a little slice of domestic bliss. Unfortunately, as Dennis Fleckney suggests, this is a story about 'how to fuck things up with women'. These are the adventures - joy and despair, love and hate - of four ordinary guys: one on the way up, one on the way down, one going nowhere and one seemingly managing to achieve the impossible. It is a social satire, at times darkly comic, at times heartbreaking. Set against the backdrop of millennial English Midlands urbanity, this is a bittersweet tale of love, loss, rivalry and revelation.
