Shopping and F***ing is...
Falling in love with your best friend - if you can get the right mix of Es and whizz...
Passion buried beneath layers of bubble and wrap and cellophane
A world where microwaves are the only source of heat
A place where Shopping is sexy and F***ing is a job...
And if you killed someone what would it feel like? Or maybe there are no feelings left...
Shopping and F***ing is a witty and shocking look at a corrosive disposable world whose values have been determined by a disinherited generation.
