Longlisted for the Goldsmiths Prize. A Morning Star 'Radical Book of the Year'. The Deconstruction of Professor Thrubb is a radical trek through twentieth-century history. It's also a brazan campus comedy, a medical drama and a cheery ride through the Scottish Highlands. A PhD student tracks the biography of Elsie Stewart from her job as a London maid and to the Spanish Civil War while true love runs far from smooth. His neurotic supervisor, Professor Thrub, is a bewildering mentor with secrets of his own.
