“From childhood I’ve been obsessed with the female sex. They’re my damnation and my salvation. Cal Devanny, ladies man and Sixties poet, states the obsession which begins his tortured passage to manhood in this hilarious novel about sex, drugs and rock’n’roll. The debut novel from Gregory Paul paints an evocative portrait of Sixties Britain. However Two Eyes Two Heads is far from a sentimental hippie remembrance; on one level it’s a passionate love story and on another a biting satire about radical politics and its effect on the inhabitants of a backwater Northern town. Its sharp style and witty characterisation make it fascinating reading. They say if you can remember the Sixties you can’t have been there. Two Eyes Two Heads refreshes the memory .......”

ALL ABOARD FOR LOVE AND PEACE, MAN

Were the Sixties the crossroads of modern civilisation? Were they the last chance we had to make a choice between two alternative social structures?

Yes - according to Gregory Paul's debut novel Two Eyes Two Heads (£6.99, paperback, 364 pages), an allegory loaded with metaphor and symbolism.

Most symbolic of all is the boat which a menage of Northern England hippies try to turn into a floating theatre and art gallery.

The story revolves around the boat and the family which leads the revamp - the grossly dysfunctional Devannys. They leave a trail of human destruction in their wake as they blindly fumble their way to disaster.

But Paul's novel shows deft comic touches as he describes the adolescent angst of the three Devanny boys and their passionate alliance with a sophisticated London model and her nymphette ward.

Two Eyes Two Heads takes a new viewpoint on the Sixties - showing how the ripples of a cultural revolution affected people in a small backwater town. It is sharp, touching, and often very funny.
