A brilliant novel about skinhead culture and disaffected youth from the author of The Football Factory.
John King is the author of eight novels - The Football Factory, Headhunters, England Away, Human Punk, White Trash, The Prison House, Skinheads and The Liberal Politics Of Adolf Hitler. The Football Factory has been turned into a high-profile film and his books have been widely translated abroad. He has also written short stories and non-fiction for a number of publications over the years, with articles appearing in the likes of The New Statesman, Le Monde and La Repubblica. He edits the fiction fanzine Verbal and lives in London.
King...offers a nuanced argument for skinhead culture * Arena *
An energetic and technically adroit writer * Sunday Telegraph *
King's achievement since his debut has been enormous: creating a
modern, proletarian English literature at once genuinely modern,
genuinely proletarian, genuinely English and genuinely literature.
His novels immerse his readers in the stream of consciousness of
people who, as routinely depicted in the media, barely have
consciousness at all * Independent *
King is a master of idiom and street slang. He speaks with a voice
that appears to be the true expression of disaffected white British
youth * The Times *
