Product Description

Review

Del-Rivo has aspects of Bukowski years ahead of her time, and Knut Hamsun. She brings to life another London, one that is not very well reported on. --Beat Scene

Product Description

Joe Beckett drifts from one job to another, woman to woman, in the seedy world of bedsitters and all-night cafes. Living in the wasteland between Notting Hill and Earl's Court, he heats up tins on gas rings, smuggles girls past the landlady. He has no values or beliefs. A chance encounter with a roadhouse braggart brings him the opportunity to murder someone 'to shock himself back to life'. The Furnished Room was filmed as West 11, starring Alfred Lynch as Joe, Kathleen Breck as the good-time girl Isla, and a cast including Eric Portman and Diana Dors.

Format:Hardcover
Described thus by none other than Colin Wilson, this well constructed existential novel, echoing his own 'Ritual In the Dark' Ritual in the Dark (Visions), reads as well today as when it was first published in 1961. The new Five Leaves reprint is welcome and timely The Furnished Room (Beats Bums & Bohemians) following the publication in 2004 of her 'Speedy and Queen Kong' Speedy and Queen Kong. Maybe this will encourage a reprint of her only other novel 'Daffodil on the Pavement' aka 'Animals' Animals or a volume of her as yet unpublished but excellent short stories.

This film was made into a Michael Winner Movie, called WEST ELEVEN. But the book is better. Interesting comparasion. It is amzing to read a lot of Female british 60s and 70s fiction. It is so strong and very nostalgic, and nearly completely forgotten, apart from the spy genre.

See the film, because you love Diana Dors.....
