Any Seaside Town by John Peaseland (97 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

John would drink responsibly, if only the circumstances would allow. The misunderstanding at the Art Gallery, the sea rescue, the séance involving the use of Magic Mushrooms, the car crash and a ghost to boot, all conspire to prevent him from facing up to his fear of sobriety and the responsibilities that would bring. It's not funny and certainly not clever to drink to excess and by reading Any Seaside Town you will see why. Take a seedy, bleary, leery trip into the world of three friends desperate to break out of their cycle of self destruction, desperation and hopelessness. You will have a lot of laughs on the way but may have to cover your eyes against their tragic-comic existence.

The Crying Game by John Braine (Lume Books) (55 Reviews)    Price verified 12 hours ago

"My new life began when my cousin Adam Keelby came into the Salisbury one muggy September evening." Frank Batcombe, an ambitious young reporter, has come down from Yorkshire to work on a tabloid newspaper in London's Fleet Street. It is some time towards the tail end of the swinging sixties. He gets digs at the rundown end of the Kings Road and begins a desultory liaison with clever Theresa, who works on the woman's page of the same paper. But, just finding his feet in the city, Frank is unwilling to commit. Things look up when he runs into his stylish cousin Adam, a PR man, who lives in a smart flat in Hampstead and knows all the right people. Adam throws decadent bachelor parties, attended by models, debs, a gay photographer and lecherous MPs. When Frank's editor puts him to work digging the dirt on an affair between a supposedly upright Labour politician and an attractive novelist these two worlds collide. Adam persuades Frank to move into the Hampstead flat, Theresa is ditched for louche Angela, a trust funded artist, and Frank seems set to make it in London's media scene. But he soon finds that this hard living world can take it's toll... Now something of a classic, The Crying Game absolutely captures the sexy, brutal world of young men on the make in London, and the girls they exploit. But in the end John Braine also conveys a deeper sense of what is left, once the game is over. Praise for The Crying Game: '... a remarkably prescient and well-written piece of fiction' - Dan Atkinson, Lion & Unicorn 'Braine is a fine writer. A fine writer, moreover, of the old school, with a perfect grasp of the English language... and a sure stylistic touch' - Pursewarden blog 'A cautionary tale of swinging London... a kinky, mod, kaleidoscope scene of bright-plumed 'birds' and opportunistic bastards who will do anything to get ahead... Shocks and hypnotises at the same time' - New York Times 'This is John Braine's best novel since Room at the Top, ...
