Writing and Art with a Sense of Place.
"The Brighton Book is a fantastic idea and I loved writing a piece with crazy wonderful Brighton as the theme. Everybody should buy the book because it's such a great mix of energy and ideas." Jeanette Winterson
The first of an exciting new series, this is all specially commissioned work from established artists and emerging talents. With over 20 contributors, from Whitbread nominee Meg Rosoff to Louis de Bernières, it includes: new fiction from Jeanette Winterson, Ali Smith and Mick Jackson; Nigella Lawson's favourite fish and chip recipe; a view of Brighton's offbeat from Miranda Sawyer; Patti Smith's guitarist Lenny Kaye on New York's Brighton Beach; poems from Lee Harwood and Catherine Smith; The Guardian's Roy Greenslade on commuting, Diana Souhami on seduction at sea and Bonnie Greer on Britain, plus fictional epiphanies from Melissa Benn, Martine McDonagh and Lesley Thomson. It's a visual feast too, with a new graphic short story from Woodrow Phoenix, the first English translation from Marjane Satrapi's Angoulème-award-winning graphic novel Poulet aux Prunes, and sketches by Posy Simmonds. Photographs of Brighton's inhabitants and visitors by world-renowned Ukranian Boris Mikhailov are contrasted with its townscapes, photographed by John Riddy to illustrate architect Piers Gough's essay on Brighton as a place of delirious invention.
Synopsis
Welcome to Brighton, the city of delirious invention where no one has an excuse for leading a normal life. This popular seaside resort with its infamously seedy underbelly boasts one and a half piers, a royal palace and ridiculous house prices. Bawdy and beautiful like the place itself, these stories and pictures are peopled by some seeking the good life and others who, in one way or another, have reached the end of the line. The first of a new series designed to showcase the creative energy of key British cities.
