Doodaaa: The Balletic Art of Gavin Twinge

Last remnant of a nineteenth-century 'domestic engineering dynasty' and heir to what's left of the family fortune, Gavin Twinge is the founder of the Doodaaa school and the original angry voice of contemporary British art. When Ralphael Steed meets him in a London bookshop it becomes his quest to get to the heart of Twinge's mystery. So, whether he has to penetrate the deep south of the South of France by London taxi, where Gavin finds inspiration with his fellow Doodaaaists, or witness the creation of the banned installation 'The Philosophy of French Plumbing' at Tite Modern, Steed sticks to his man, matching him drink for drink, as bit by bit the portrait of the lost soul of art emerges.
