About

Part excoriation, part lamentation, Young Love unspools the psyche of a man ill at ease with modernity, "that festering malignancy." Satirical, compulsive and deeply provocative, it announces the arrival of David Roberts, a powerful new literary voice.

"David Roberts is a unique, young, literary voice. The language of Young Love is deeply ironic and exhibits a spirit of diabolical play in the tradition of Rabelais and Sterne through to Philip Roth. The narrator is at times grotesquely hilarious and at other times abject."

– Christopher  Cyrill

"A riotous comic novella with an arch narrator somewhere between Humbert Humbert and Ignatius J. Reilly… An excellent literary debut."

– M.J. Nicholls
