In youth is pleasure : with I left my grandfather's house

A beautiful and unassuming coming-of-age novel. Painfully sensitive and sad Orville Pym is fifteen, and the novel recounts the summer holiday after his first miserable year at public school.

As in all of Welch's work, what is most important are the details of Orville's surroundings, as reflected through his remarkable perception.

Includes a foreword by William Burroughs, who said of Welch's work 'It is time Denton received the attention he deserves.'
