Roistering With Intent
by Jason Read
In the spring of 1998, two friends fly to Gran Canaria with no plan, very little money, and very little idea of what they are doing. What begins as a boozy, sun-drenched holiday of cheap lager, dubious curry decisions, karaoke, jeep safaris and cultural misunderstandings slowly reveals itself to be something else entirely.Hidden beneath the hangovers and misadventures is a deeply personal quest: the search for an absent father, last seen decades earlier and now discovered running a fortune-telling computer on a Spanish plaza.Part travelogue, part confessional, and part surreal comedy, Roistering with Intent blends youthful exuberance with moments of unexpected tenderness — exploring identity, chance encounters, family, and the strange ways the past has of catching up with us.Told as a serialised audiobook-style narrative, this is a true story of friendship, recklessness, and one life-changing conversation, set against the sunburnt backdrop of 90
