I may be in the sewer, but you better get your mind outta the gutter! That rhymin’ zombie known as Solomon Grundy ain’t happy that I’m in his domain (but to be fair...it’s also Killer Croc’s domain too, there’s a lotta sewer dwellers in Gotham). Grundy’s either going to welcome me with open arms or crush me! And I can’t let that happen, 'cause Kevin’s at the mercy of Hugo Strange. Hugo’s going to do everything in his power to break Kevin and turn him against me, I hope in our brief time together, Kevin’s learned a little perseverance!

Solomon Grundy born on Monday, christened on Tuesday, married on Wednesday...There is something very wrong with Sue Grundy's baby. Within hours of his birth, he is walking, talking and asking 'Why?'. Before he is a day old he is six foot tall, with hairy armpits and no sense of personal hygiene. As his body spirals out of control, his brain struggles vainly to keep up. Already he knows the value of everything, and the price of none of it. Teachers and social workers, psychiatrists and priests: none are any use to him. Only his nurse knows what he really needs... Dan Gooch's unique first novel depicts an adult generation that refuses to grow up, and a child who cannot stop. Kicking off in third gear, accelerating ruthlessly towards Solomon's moment of (partial) truth, it leaves a bewildered cast of tragi-comic characters in its wake.
