From the publisher
‘Extraordinary, funny, tender, poetic . . . The story that emerges is Britain’s.’ Times Literary Supplement
With a new introduction by George Shaw
In a forensic dissection of Britain’s souring landscape Gordon Burn tells the tale of Ray Cruddas, a light entertainer effecting a semi-dignified retreat from a fading career, who returns to the unnamed northern town of his youth.
