A failed actor has one last chance at success -- in this razor-sharp satirical novel from the acclaimed author of STRETCH, 29. Hailed by the Observer as 'a dazzling performance, teeming with invention, wicked humour and unforced insights' and by the Daily Mirror as 'heartbreakingly funny', STRETCH, 29, Damian Lanigan's story of the downward-spiralling life of serial under-achiever Frank Stretch, established him as one of the most distinctive voices of a new generation of British comic writers. Now, in THE CHANCERS, his new hero is struggling to escape the modern obsession with fame...There was a time when Patrick Moon had all the fame he could handle. Starring in Macbeth fresh out of RADA, he was the darling of the West End when he fell in love with fast-rising young novelist Susie Fisher. Eight years later, the spotlight has moved on, Patrick is permanently 'resting', the golden couple is badly in need of a polish and he can't even perform in the bedroom. Worst of all, Susie now writes a weekly column in which she reveals the most intimate details of their crumbling relationship. But then he unexpectedly wins a leading role in a small-budget film. Could this be his last chance to escape all his troubles and regain the public admiration he is convinced he deserves?.

This volume examines controversial faultlines in contemporary feminism--pornography, the beauty myth, sadomasochism, prostitution, and the issue of rape--from an original and provocative perspective.
