Yen
’Yen’ is set in 2015, in the living room of a flat on an estate in Feltham, south west
London. 16-year-old Hench and his 13-year-old brother Bobby live alone with their dog Taliban, playing video games and watching violent porn. There’s no adult supervision, though their mother Maggie occasionally visits from her latest boyfriend’s place and passes out in a diabetic coma. But then Jennifer, a practical, animal-loving girl, shows a concern for the neglected Taliban, and succeeds in taming both the dog and his semi-feral owners.
